“…This category was developed by consulting publications by policymakers (European Commission, 2020a), and circular economyrelated initiatives (Circular Economy Initiative Deutschland, 2020). In addition, literature with focus on DMPs (e.g., Heinrich and Lang, 2019;Honic et al, 2019b;Honic et al, 2019), EVB performance (e.g., Chen et al, 2020;Philippot et al, 2019;Stampatori et al, 2020) and structure (e.g., Coffin and Horowitz, 2018;Jussani et al, 2017) served as source of inspiration. Moreover, literature with focus digitalization and circular economy (e.g., Garrido-Hidalgo et al, 2020;Saberi et al, 2019;Wang and Wang, 2019) was consulted for category development purposes.…”

The transition to circular battery value chains is perceived to yield sustainability-related benefits, such as relief of environmental stresses, and security of critical raw material supplies. To enable such a transition, value chain stakeholders require data to derive meaningful information to support respective decision-making situations. Digital battery passports (DBP) hold the potential to resume a role as valuable data source, thus supporting sustainable product management-related decision-making situations, and function as enablers for more sustainable and circular value chains. This work provides a conceptual DBP for an electric vehicle traction battery (EVB), demonstrating information needs, which a DBP needs to fulfil to resume an enabling function. The concept was developed by pursuing a stakeholder mapping according to the supply chain-oriented process of identifying stakeholders, systematic literature review according to PRISMA, and bottom-up concept development approach. The concept comprises four main information categories: (1) battery, (2) sustainability and circularity, (3) diagnostics, maintenance, and performance, and (4) value chain actors. The concept further details information types needed to enable sustainable and circular value chains. In addition, three potential DBP use cases of distinct EVB value chain stakeholders are presented to illustrate the concept’s supporting function.

“…GVCs provide important insights into products value chain within the global economy (Graedel and Allenby, 1995;Inomata, 2018). Importantly, the GVC theory embedded within the CE paradigm, has previously been applied in relation to urban light electric vehicles in South Korea and Japan, looking at the technological challenges for electric vehicle mobility and product recycling (Jussani et al, 2017). Dinger et al (2010) also explored the value chains of electric-car batteries, focusing on: component production (including raw materials); cell production; module production; assembly of modules into the battery pack (including electronic control units and a cooling system); integration of the battery pack into the vehicle; use during life of the vehicle; and reuse and recycling (Dinger et al, 2010).…”

“…Denying investments to local BEV technology development would denote relinquishing the chances of developing an industry in the future, restricting the country to peripheral developments [7,131] and squandering the potential for insertion in the global battery supply chain. Although requiring large investments and regional cooperation, Jussani et al [132] highlighted the Brazilian potential for insertion in the global battery supply chain recognizing the large lithium reserves in neighboring countries and the Brazilian expertise in mining. As long as BEV tag prices are significantly higher than ICEV ones, massive adoption will remain unfeasible.…”

As the automotive industry steers towards electromobility and electric vehicle adoption surges, Brazil and other Latin-American countries remain laggards. The Brazilian scenario exhibits unique features, such as a powerful automotive sector with large investments in internal combustion engine technology and a well-established biofuels market based on flex-fuel technology. Although energy security, urban air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, and technological advantage have been common drivers for the adoption of electric vehicles worldwide, the Brazilian immediate motivations are different, and the biofuels business ecosystem is likely to transform the path for electromobility. High tag price and public charging infrastructure absence have deeply discouraged electric vehicles adoption. A lack of regulation and a national consensus about the role of electric vehicles have been notorious. In fact, only in 2018 did the electricity regulatory agency (ANEEL) issue a resolution permitting the sale of electricity for recharging. The objective of this review was to create an outlook of the Brazilian transportation landscape. We identified relevant players, public charging infrastructure initiatives, market and other barriers, and regulation actions by consulting academic literature, media sources, and reports. We do not claim to predict the evolution of electrification. Instead, we aim to consolidate the information which can be used for decision support or strategy definition among entrepreneurs or policymakers. The main findings here are the necessity of a model for electrification able to create a synergy with biofuels and the urgency of having well-defined policies on what Brazil wants from electromobility.
