Kanjere, Julian SFord, MerrylLouw, Jakobus M2025-09-252025-09-252025-070-7988-5673-4http://hdl.handle.net/10204/14406The market for electric vehicles (EVs) is surging as automakers move towards decarbonisation, and consumer preferences towards environmentally friendly vehicles. In addition, technological advances are making EV production and operation cheaper, and EV performance comparable with that of traditional internal combustion engines. One of the core components of an EV is the lithium-ion battery, which has a multi-stakeholder and often siloed value chain. Given the nature of the EV battery supply chain, visibility into the end-to-end lifecycle of a battery is opaque. To address this limited visibility and the automotive decarbonisation agenda, governments are introducing battery passport legislation for the collection and sharing of EV battery-related data, throughout its lifetime, among supply chain actors.FulltextenBattery passportsBlockchainSelective disclosureElectric vehiclesBattery lifecycle managementConference PresentationN/A
