Battery passport pricing, published in full.
You have a deadline in February 2027 and a budget to write before then. Here is the whole list, what every line is for, and a calculator that runs on your own figures. When you want to talk it through, we are one email away.
Still budgeting the category, not choosing a vendor? What a battery passport costs across the market.

Shipping quoted separately on printed labels. All figures exclude VAT, reverse charge applies to EU customers with a valid VAT number.
Two plans. The difference is when you pay for the setup, not whether.
Startup has no setup fee and costs €1.00 more per passport: the same fee paid by instalments, credited in full when you move to Standard. Up to 5,000 passports the two routes cost the same to the cent.
From €3.50 per passport
You set yourself up, you pay by card, you are issuing passports the same day. For the first few thousand packs, before there is a budget line called compliance.
- +Nothing to pay before the first passport
- +QR carrier, printed by you or by us from 500 pieces
- +Hosting and part numbers identical to Standard
- −One login, no dealer accounts, no NFC carrier
- −Up to 5,000 passports in total, then you move to Standard
Your VAT number, a card we check without charging it, and your workspace is ready in minutes. Nothing to pay until you generate your first batch. Run the numbers first.
Start nowFrom €2.50 per passport
Everything in Startup, at €1.00 less per passport, plus the two things a plan with nobody in the loop cannot carry: the tamper-evident tag and your dealer network.
- +Tamper-evident NFC carrier at €4.50, keyed per batterywe print
- +3 logins included, dealer accounts at €1.00 a month
- +A database that is only yours, and your own encryption key for the backups
- +We map your data sheets to Annex XIII with you
- −Setup of €5,000 to €25,000 by declared annual volume, before the first passport unless you arrive from Startup
Moving up is arithmetic, not a negotiation: the setup for your volume, minus €1.00 for every passport you have already generated. Passports are counted when you generate them, which is the same moment they are billed, so the credit is money you have already paid. Past 5,000 there is nothing left to pay on the first step, which is exactly where the plan ends.

What it costs you, year by year
Fill in your own figures and pick a plan. Nothing is sent anywhere, the result is in the address bar, so you can send the link to whoever signs the budget.
At 5,000 batteries a year you reach the 5,000-passport ceiling of the Startup plan during year 1, so the table below prices a plan you will have outgrown by then. What happens next is not a penalty. The €1.00 a passport you will have paid by then comes off the Standard setup fee, covering €5,000 of the €5,000 step for your volume, which is all of it. The arithmetic is above.
| Year | In field | Labels | Hosting | Setup | Users, dealers, P/N | Total | Per battery |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5,000 | €17,500 | €5,000 | — | €0.00 | €22,500 | €4.50 |
| 2 | 10,000 | €17,500 | €10,000 | — | €0.00 | €27,500 | €5.00 |
| 3 | 15,000 | €17,500 | €15,000 | — | €0.00 | €32,500 | €5.50 |
| 5 | 25,000 | €17,500 | €25,000 | — | €0.00 | €42,500 | €6.50 |
| 10 | 50,000 | €17,500 | €31,250 | — | €0.00 | €48,750 | €7.88 |

We generate a facsimile passport for your figures and a QR code that resolves to it. Scan it with your camera and you are looking at the same page a customer of yours would reach, on the same system.
The whole list, both plans, with the reasoning
Prices exclude VAT. Where a number would change how you keep your data, the reason it is set where it is matters more than the number.
| Item | Standard | Startup | Why it is set there |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passport, QR onlyyou print | €2.50 | €3.50 | Billed when you generate the batch, at the price fixed that day. Binding a battery serial to it later costs nothing more. |
| Passport, QR onlywe print | €3.50 + shipping | €4.50 + shipping | Printed on stock rated for the life of the pack, at the module size the specification requires. |
| Minimum print orderwe print | None | 500 pieces | A print run has a fixed cost that does not care how short it is. Standard absorbs it in the setup fee, Startup has no setup fee to absorb it with. |
| Passport, QR + tamper-evident NFCwe print | €4.50 | Not offered | €1.00 over the printed label, and it is the euro of the chip. Never self printed: a chip does not come out of a printer. |
| Hosting, first five years of each battery | €1.00 / year | same | The record has to stay reachable for the life of the pack, which is the part you are actually buying. |
| Hosting, from year six of each battery | €0.25 / year | same | An old passport costs almost nothing to serve. Charging as if it did would price a cost we do not have. |
| NFC digital services | +10 % | Not offered | Applied to hosting, so €1.10 instead of €1.00. Seats are unchanged. |
| Your own users | 3 free, then €1.00 / month | 1, not extendable | Nobody should share a login to save a euro. Shared logins destroy the actor field in the record. |
| Dealer access | €1.00 / month | Not offered | A dealer reads and writes service events. That is where state of health enters the passport. |
| Part numbers | 25 included, then €10.00 / year | same | Deliberately low. A high fee would push you to file three products under one part number, and then the Annex XIII data is wrong. |
| Part number, prepared by us | €300.00 | same | We map your data sheet to Annex XIII and carry the responsibility for that mapping. |
| Setup, one off | to 5,000 / yr€5,000 to 25,000€12,000 to 100,000€25,000 aboveQuoted | None | By declared annual volume: it buys a dedicated database, the onboarding, and your own encryption key for the backups. On Startup the €1.00 per passport is the same fee by instalments, credited back if you move to Standard. |
| Remanufacturing | No separate fee | same | The new passport is billed as a new passport. Linking it to the previous one is part of the record, not an extra. |
| Replacement label | Label cost only | same | If you print your own, it is free. A damaged label is a compliance risk, so nothing should discourage replacing it. |
| Exporting your data | Free | same | Charging to leave is the clearest warning sign there is, and we would rather not be that supplier. |
Keeping the record, and giving it back to you
Superseded part number revisions stay readable forever at no cost, because a passport issued in 2027 has to keep meaning what it meant in 2027. Exporting everything is free and always will be. You also get a full export delivered to your own storage every month, without asking, so the answer to “what happens to our passports if you disappear” is that you already have them.
And we will not switch a passport off over an unpaid invoice. Those batteries are in the field and the regulation requires the record to stay reachable, so the hosting price already reflects a fee we could not enforce.
