MOBIRE

The MOBIRE project aims to transform the micromobility sector by addressing key challenges in battery repairability, sustainability, and lifecycle management. The primary objectives of the project are: 

1. Innovative battery repairability: Develop and validate advanced repair processes for lithium-ion batteries used in micromobility, focusing on four key battery types most common in today’s EU micromobility market: Okai ES300, Okai ES400, Ninebot A200 and Ninebot C1. These processes will address common failure modes such as unbalanced cells, deep discharge and abnormal state of charge drop, extending battery life and reducing costs. 

2. Integration of the battery passport system: Implement a battery passport system that tracks the lifecycle, repair history and compliance of each battery. This will help micromobility providers meet EU regulations, including the Battery Directive and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), while efficiently managing battery performance across fleets. 

3. Compliance with the battery regulation: Ensure all solutions are fully compliant with the latest EU battery regulation, addressing sustainability, safety and lifecycle requirements for batteries, which will be key for market acceptance and scalability. 

4. Establishment of a repair hub in Poland: Set up a dedicated battery repair hub in Poland to test and implement the new repair processes. The hub will validate these innovations with real-world micromobility battery fleets, with Dott acting as the primary client. 

5. Achieving technology readiness level 9 (TRL 9): The project will advance from TRL 6, as demonstrated in the Project Phoenix prototype with Dott, to TRL 9 by the end of the project, making the solution market-ready with fully validated repair processes and a scalable battery passport system.
