The neutral exchange for retired EV batteries

Millions of EV batteries are retiring with no standardized way to sort, price, or route them — to reuse or recycling. EcoVerse is the clearing and settlement infrastructure that makes every disposition decision data-driven, automated, and bankable.

Where batteries enter the circular battery economy.
An Exchange Delivery Point is a physical location — a recycling center, OEM return depot, or fleet yard — where retiring packs get a standardized identity and enter the exchange. EDPs are classified and scored by the circularity tax they eliminate: the more co-located capability, the lower the cost per transaction.

An Exchange Delivery Point: retired packs arrive, get assessed, and enter the exchange.
01 — Arrive

Packs arrive at the EDP

Retired batteries flow to facilities that co-locate logistics, storage, testing, and refurbishment. The tighter the proximity, the less circularity tax on every pack.

02 — Identify

BMI Ticker assigned

Each pack gets a unique asset identifier encoding chemistry, capacity, condition grade, geography, and vintage — a universal language for battery assets.

03 — Score

EVS health score generated

Certified assessors — on-site at higher-tier EDPs — run standardized diagnostics. The EcoVerse Score drives the routing decision: reuse, further assessment, or recycle.

04 — Route

Automated disposition

High EVS packs list for reuse on the exchange. Borderline packs get full assessment. Low EVS packs route to the recycler market. Data replaces guesswork.

EDP Classification

Not all EDPs are equal. Each is scored by the circularity tax it eliminates — the friction cost of moving a pack from retirement to its next life. Co-location of logistics, storage, testing, and refurbishment at a single site compresses that cost dramatically.

Tier 1 — Intake

Collection and storage. Packs enter the system, get a BMI Ticker, and ship to a higher-tier EDP for assessment.

Tier 2 — Assess + Route

On-site testing and EVS scoring. Packs are diagnosed, graded, and routed — no transport needed for assessment.

Tier 3 — Full Circularity

Testing, refurbishment, recycling, and redeployment under one roof. Lowest circularity tax. Packs never leave the site.

Tier 3 EDP — Full Circularity Under One Roof

Every step co-located. Packs never leave the site. Lowest circularity tax.

For OEMs

Clean liability transfer at the EDP

Your packs enter the system with a standardized profile. You get compliance data for EU Battery Passport, residual value capture, and a clean handoff.

For Recyclers

Your facility becomes a Tier 3 EDP

You already have logistics, storage, and recycling. Add on-site testing and refurbishment to become a full-circularity hub — and capture value at every stage.

For BESS Developers

Source from higher-tier EDPs

Packs from Tier 2 and Tier 3 EDPs come pre-assessed with standardized data your lenders can underwrite. Lower circularity tax means lower landed cost.

The language the market speaks.
Two instruments power every transaction on the exchange — giving every participant a shared standard for identifying, scoring, and pricing battery assets.
LFP-5.3-C-B0-CN-MD-19

BMI Ticker

A universal identifier for every battery asset on the exchange. Like a stock ticker — but for batteries.
Encodes chemistry, capacity, condition grade, geography, assembly type, and vintage
The single thread connecting the entire chain of custody — from first life through retirement, clearing, and deployment
Every transaction, every assessment, every routing decision ties back to the BMI Ticker

EVS — EcoVerse Score

A standardized health score derived from SoH data, first-life use intensity, and chemistry-specific degradation models. Not just a number — a routing decision.
Chemistry-aware: LFP with EVS 60 is a very different asset than NMC 622 with EVS 60
Drives automated routing: High EVS → list for reuse. Low EVS → route to recycler market. Borderline → assess further.
UL 1974 safety compliance embedded in every score — assessor-verified, not self-reported
Enables pack-level decisions that dramatically lower balance-of-system costs vs. module-level teardown

Chemistry determines strategy. Data determines value.
Research from the National Lab for Renewables and Carnegie Mellon validates the opportunity — and the uncertainty. EcoVerse exists to resolve that uncertainty with standardized data and market-based price discovery.
Battery packs staged in a warehouse facility for assessment, grading, and routing to second-life or recycling
Every pack gets sorted by chemistry, health, and value — data replaces guesswork.
LFP — Lithium Iron Phosphate

Favors repurpose

Long second-life potential, low mineral recovery value. Pack-level reuse is almost always the higher-value path. The EVS identifies which LFP packs can skip teardown entirely.

NMC — Nickel Manganese Cobalt

Requires sorting

Economics depend on state of health and application fit. High-EVS NMC packs are valuable for reuse. Low-EVS packs may be worth more as mineral recovery. The exchange sorts this automatically.

NCA — Nickel Cobalt Aluminum

Favors recycle

High mineral value relative to second-life potential. But even here, pack-level screening at the EDP catches outliers — some NCA packs still clear for reuse at multiples of scrap value.

Pack-level approaches dramatically lower balance-of-system costs compared to module-level teardown. But scaling pack-level reuse requires two things the industry doesn't have yet: standardized health data and market-based price discovery. EcoVerse provides both. The EVS standardizes health. The exchange produces price signals.

Today's volumes are early. The infrastructure is built for millions.
By 2030, millions of packs per year retire globally. EcoVerse is clearing infrastructure built for that scale from day one — not a tool for today's trickle.

AI-driven diagnostics

Machine learning accelerates EVS generation as more packs flow through the system. Every assessment makes the scoring model more accurate and faster.

Automated matching

No human brokers needed at scale. Buyers and sellers match through exchange mechanics — transparent pricing, mechanical execution, and structured settlement once delivery is inspected and accepted.

Predictive models that compound

Every pack that clears through the exchange improves lifetime forecasts, tightens pricing, and makes routing smarter. The data compounds as flows grow.

Cost curve that bends down

Human-brokered disposition is expensive at any volume. An AI-powered clearing exchange gets cheaper per transaction as throughput scales. Cost per clearing drops as the network grows.

The hub of a network that already exists.
EcoVerse isn't a standalone platform — it's the coordination layer connecting the participants who make the second-life battery economy work.
BMS Integration
