The electric SUV Volvo EX90 had already been officially launched at the end of 2022, but production of the model will only begin in South Carolina, United States, this month.

The production delay is due to the complexity of the LIDAR system that will be incorporated into the Volvo EX90. However, one thing is certain, the Volvo EX90 will be the world’s first car to have its own battery passport system.

This documentation system will record all essential information about the battery pack, including the origin of raw materials, components, recycled content, and the overall carbon footprint.

This passport will also record current information regarding the battery health for up to 15 years. This is crucial for customers in determining the current value of an EV, especially as the Volvo EX90 begins to enter the used vehicle market.

Volvo took over five years to develop this passport system in collaboration with the UK startup company Circulor, with an expected cost of approximately $10 (RM47) per vehicle.

In addition to the Volvo EX90, this battery passport will be expanded for use in other Volvo EVs. According to a Reuters report, every EV sold in Europe will be required to have a battery passport starting in February 2027.
