The EV industry is flying blind on battery health
The EV space is expanding at a phenomenal rate. But as the industry races toward its promised future, a few basic and rudimentary things have failed to keep pace — and they're holding everything back.
Whether you're an EV user, financier, or stakeholder, you've felt it: a creeping uncertainty around the questions that matter most. Is the battery performing at its best? Is it being used correctly? How much longer before it needs to be retired?
Some answers exist — but they're approximations. Extrapolations of how a battery in ideal, controlled conditions would behave. Real-world use is rarely ideal. Real-world data has barely existed.
What is Battery Aadhaar?
Just as India's Aadhaar card is a comprehensive digital identity containing pertinent information about an individual, Battery Aadhaar is a foundational digital identity for every battery cell — not just for identification, but as a living record of its components, health, capacity, and usage throughout its entire lifetime.
Tracking a battery across its entire lifecycle
Battery Aadhaar isn't a snapshot — it's a continuous record. From the moment a cell is manufactured to the end of its usable life, every relevant data point is captured and written to its identity.
The data that unlocks a battery's second life
One of the most undervalued dimensions of Battery Aadhaar is what it enables after a battery's primary use is complete. The data recorded throughout a battery's first life — its real degradation curve, actual usage patterns, thermal history — dramatically improves the viability of second-life applications.
Without this data, repurposing a used EV battery for stationary storage is a gamble. With it, you're making an informed engineering decision. Unnecessary waste is reduced. Asset value is extended. The economics of the entire EV value chain improve.
- Stationary ESS deployment — cells with sufficient remaining capacity routed to grid storage applications
- Commercial backup power — degraded packs repurposed for lower-demand, non-mobility use cases
- VPP participation eligibility — health data determines whether a battery qualifies for virtual power plant programmes
- Safe retirement routing — cells that can't be repurposed are identified early, reducing hazardous waste risk
Transparent data for every stakeholder
Battery Aadhaar was built to be an ecosystem enabler, not a proprietary tool. The information on any Battery Aadhaar is transparent and incorruptible — accessible to every participant in the value chain who needs it.
Battery Aadhaar is the foundation layer the energy ecosystem was missing.
We built it to be the best marketplace asset management tool anyone can ask for — not just for TEC, but for the entire value chain. Our goal: every battery gets a Battery Aadhaar that accounts for its complete lifecycle, at a cellular level. The data that flows from it will power a more sustainable, efficient, and innovative energy ecosystem.
