01 · What changes

Here the deadline isn't a forecast -
it's a date.

Batteries have their own regulation, with a fixed date: 18 February 2027. Every electric-vehicle battery, industrial battery above 2 kWh or traction battery for light transport will need an accessible digital passport. Electronics follow close behind, within the ESPR.
