What measures is Bosch eBike Systems implementing to improve the sustainability of eBike batteries?

The first priority for our products, including our batteries, is a safe design. High quality and safety standards enable robustness and durability. Optimally adapted cell specification, and lifetime-optimising electronics, help maximise the service life and energy throughput of the battery, thus ensuring the most sustainable deployment of the materials used. With appropriate use and treatment, the distance covered by a Bosch eBike battery during its service life can reach up to 60,000 km. In order to keep the ecological impact of the batteries low, we try to keep the proportion of so-called critical raw materials in the cells as low as possible when developing of the products while at the same time increasing the proportion of recycled materials, while complying with safety requirements. Since 2013, for example, the cobalt content in the cathode of battery cells has already been reduced by 65%. Furthermore, by supporting our cell suppliers, we ensure that we can trace the entire supply chain to ensure more socially responsible extraction of raw materials.
