DPP Engine · Regulation (EU) 2023/1542

The battery passport,
issued, not asserted.

Two release gates, a hash-chained version history, real provenance instead of placeholders. The same engine carries our own pilot through its full lifecycle, verifiable live.

Vollständiger Vergleichinkl. 7 Nachhaltigkeits-Dimensionen & EU Battery Passport

What you get

All the data for a confident decision.

No other comparison shows you battery health, CO₂ class and real total costs at once, fully explained and without jargon.

EU Battery Passport

Every battery passport data point per vehicle, so you know what's really in the battery before you sign.

Understandable Scores

No black-box algorithm: each of the 7 dimensions is explained in plain language, with confidence level and source.

Current Market Prices

No outdated brochure: prices, availability and real user experiences, updated daily from 50+ sources.

Your right as a buyer

What's really inside the battery?

From 2027 you'll have a legal right to complete battery data: CO₂ footprint, recycling shares, raw material origin and battery health. On Sustainista you can already see what will soon be mandatory.

CO₂ Carbon Footprint (Group B)

CO₂ footprint in kg CO₂e/kWh, measurable and comparable; the EU performance class follows once the Commission has defined the classes.

Recycled Content (Group C)

Mandatory disclosure of cobalt, lithium and nickel from recycling: greenwashing becomes verifiable.

Raw Material Origin (Group D)

Country of origin for cobalt, lithium, nickel, including due diligence proof.

State of Health (Groups I–J)

Live data: capacity loss, SoH certification, remaining lifetime; accessible via QR code.

Everything about the Battery Passport

“
Seven years as a petrol driver, and then this platform literally opened my eyes. The total cost of ownership calculation was the moment I realised: I'd been driving the wrong thing. I've been driving electric for two years now and don't miss a single tank of fuel I'll never need again.
