Company profile
researched Sep 2026Bib Batteries is a French company founded in 2021 that monitors and manages batteries used in electric mobility across their lifecycle. Its platform ingests operational data supplied by customers (states of charge, voltages and similar telemetry) and converts it with proprietary algorithms into physical indicators such as state of health (SoH) and remaining-duration predictions. The company states its technology measures battery health in real time without requiring additional hardware to be installed on the vehicle. Each monitored battery can be issued a "passport" describing its remaining potential.
Beyond monitoring, the platform provides a decision tree that recommends the most economically and environmentally favourable action for a given battery — keeping it in service, repairing a specific component, sending it to a reuse partner, or routing it to a recycling centre — and the company has assembled a partner network to execute repair, second-life and recycling operations, including logistics, invoicing and associated paperwork. The company began in micro-mobility (shared e-scooters, e-bikes and e-mopeds), serving fleet managers, before extending to electric cars.
The current commercial offer centres on a remote battery health report and a developer API (for example a /v1/vehicle-data endpoint returning odometer, OEM state of health, a letter grade from A to E, and range). The report is offered in two variants: an instantaneous manufacturer-reported SoH reading and an independent measurement taken over 500 km. The company frames SoH as the equivalent of odometer readings for combustion vehicles, citing value gaps of up to €6,000 between otherwise identical used EVs.
Founding story
The company was created in late 2021. Télécom Paris lists five co-founders: Théophile Marchand-Arvrier, Charles Cuvillier, Pierre-Amans Lapeyre, Remy Leothaud and Martin Vaz; a 2023 podcast profile and the Solar Impulse listing name Pierre-Amans Lapeyre and Martin Vaz as founders. The founders turned to batteries given their expertise and the large volume of mobility batteries arriving in Europe, initially positioning the business on battery second life before broadening to ongoing battery monitoring.
Business model
B2B software and data services: a battery monitoring and management platform plus an API and battery health reports sold to professional fleet and vehicle stakeholders, complemented by coordination of end-of-life operations (repair, reuse, recycling) through a network of certified partners that handles logistics, invoicing and paperwork. Individual consumers are also served with one-off battery health reports.
Revenue is generated from platform-based battery monitoring and management for fleet operators and vehicle professionals, delivered through an API and health reports, alongside handling of second-life and recycling transactions via partner networks.
Traction
The company reported having monitored more than 40,000 batteries on its platform since inception, with 2,000 tonnes of CO2 saved through repair and reuse solutions, as of the September 2024 funding announcement. A separate industry directory listing cites 10,000 batteries monitored and managed as current volume, with targets of 700,000 by 2025 and 3,000,000 by 2030. Company size is listed as 6 people.
Latest developments
The company's site promotes a remote EV battery health report delivered in three minutes from a VIN, plus a developer API, targeting long-term leasing companies, marketplaces, used-vehicle professionals, warranty providers and individuals. Press coverage listed on its site includes an item on a tie-up with Autoviza in the context of subsidies for used electric vehicles, and commentary on the absence of a single definition of battery state of health.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Positioned as a specialist in transparency and circularity for EV batteries in Europe, addressing an expected 100 million EV batteries reaching end of life in Europe over the next decade; batteries represent roughly 40% of a vehicle's price and 3-10 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, and the company notes the sector has few standards for defining battery state of health. It was selected in Challenges' list of the top 100 startups in which to invest and holds the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution label (2023).
Battery health assessment without additional on-vehicle hardware, delivered through a single API covering multiple vehicle categories from e-scooters and e-bikes to electric cars, combined with two complementary SoH measurement methods (instantaneous OEM reading and an independent 500 km measurement) and an integrated decision tree plus partner network covering repair, reuse and recycling.
Technology
Diagnostic algorithms that transform customer-supplied operational battery data (state of charge, voltage and related parameters) into state-of-health and remaining-life indicators without installing additional hardware, exposed through an online platform and a REST API returning fields such as odometer, OEM SoH, grade and range. The system also generates a per-battery passport and an automated decision tree for maintain/repair/reuse/recycle choices. The company offers both an instantaneous manufacturer-derived SoH and an independent measurement based on 500 km of driving.
Go-to-market
Primarily B2B, entering first through micro-mobility fleet operators before moving to electric cars, with distribution via an API integrated into partners' workflows and partnerships with automotive-sector players such as Autoviza. Consumers are addressed directly with self-service SoH reports. Visibility is supported by accelerator and incubator programmes (Télécom Paris incubator, Moove Lab batch 10, Techstars Paris) and French automotive trade press coverage.
Long-term leasing companies, used-vehicle marketplaces, used-vehicle professionals and repair/service networks, warranty providers, fleet operators of e-scooters, e-bikes and e-mopeds, and individual EV owners.
Geography
Headquartered in Paris, France (13th arrondissement, at Station F), with a listed site at Issy-les-Moulineaux; activity and partner network focused on Europe, with stated ambitions to expand internationally.
History
Founded in 2021 in Paris and based at Station F, Bib Batteries began with second-life battery services for micro-mobility fleets, then expanded into battery tracking and monitoring. It joined batch 10 of Moove Lab, the mobility startup accelerator, and is hosted by the Télécom Paris incubator. In May 2023 its Battery Management Platform received the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution label, and in January 2023 the "Industrie & Énergie 4.0" fund committee awarded honour loans totalling €80,000 split between BIB Batteries and Ivanae. In September 2024 the company announced a €2.2M round led by Family Ventures, and it subsequently extended its offer to electric cars with a remote battery health report and API.
Risks & controversies
The company itself notes that the battery sector remains young with few standards in force, making state of health difficult to establish and interpret consistently — a point reiterated in trade press coverage headlined around there being no single definition of battery state of health.
