Battery range is the distance an EV can travel on a full charge, affected by driving, load, temperature, and battery health. Ratings use standards like WLTP (Europe) and Environmental Protection Agency (US), with EPA usually lower than WLTP.

Mileage alone does not explain SoH degradation. A well-chosen used EV can still offer strong SoH and long-term value.

Does vehicle weight reduce EV efficiency? Discover how heavier electric vehicles consume more energy and why weight matters more than range for sustainable mobility.

SoC (State of Charge) is the percentage of energy currently stored in a battery, estimated through voltage-based or Counting Coulomb methods. Accurate SoC measurement is essential to protect the battery, optimize performance, and manage charging safely.

Bib Batteries won the 2025 Fleet Europe Remarketing Sustainability Award for its fully software-based solution that delivers remote, reliable EV battery health insights to boost trust in the second-hand market.

State-of-Health (SoH) measures a battery’s remaining usable energy compared to when new, and although the EU regulation uses the standardized State of Certified Energy (SoCE), in practice SoH effectively reflects the same concept of energy-related degradation.

The carbon footprint of Li-ion batteries, largely driven by energy-intensive raw material extraction and assembly, can vary from 77 to 221 kg CO₂e/kWh, making it essential to extend their lifespan and promote circular economy practices like repair, reuse, and recycling.

Batteries store energy through chemical reactions in cells, whose arrangement and management by a BMS ensure safe, balanced charging, optimal performance, and prolonged lifespan.

Bib batteries partnered with WeRECY to give a second life to end-of-life Voi scooter batteries, extending their use in less demanding applications like public lighting while reducing costs and environmental impact.

Bib batteries helped VelyVelo diagnose, sort, and repair 200 malfunctioning e-bike batteries, restoring over 80% to service, cutting costs by two-thirds, and significantly reducing environmental impact.

Bib batteries, in collaboration with Dott and Manufacturing Partners, gave a second life to 1,200 e-scooter batteries—now powering an electric boat—avoiding 67 T of CO₂ emissions and demonstrating sustainable battery reuse in the circular economy.

Lithium-ion batteries come in various chemistries—LFP, LCO, NMC, LMO, NCA, and LTO—each balancing trade-offs in energy, power, cost, safety, lifespan, and recyclability to suit different applications and user needs.

Battery production and use consume significant energy and materials, generating CO₂ and societal impacts, but when used efficiently—especially with green electricity—they remain a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels.

Battery degradation, caused by electrode wear, chemical reactions, and external stresses, reduces capacity, increases resistance and heat, and makes usage more costly, inefficient, and potentially unsafe.

The circular economy extends lithium batteries’ lifespan, reducing waste and environmental impact through collection, repair, reuse, and, as a last resort, recycling.
