REBATTEX is releasing the European EV Battery Index for October 2026, a monthly publication providing aggregated data on the supply, demand and asking prices of used EV batteries. Based on activity on the REBATTEX exchange, the Index aims to improve transparency and help more usable batteries find their next application. “On REBATTEX, total capacity of listings increased to 6.6 MWh from 5.8 MWh. The average asking price per kWh fell from €99 in September 2026 to €78 in October 2026, smaller packs and more listings with Energy storage as intended use contributed to the lower asking prices.
Monthly searches rose to 825 searches from 546, showing an increased search demand for used packs. Asking prices declined across both intended-use categories: vehicle repair fell from €115 to €93 per kWh, and energy storage from €55 to €44 per kWh”, Andy Rietschel, CEO of REBATTEX comments. Across Europe, valuable market information remains fragmented. Dismantlers know what batteries they have available, while workshops, insurers and second-life businesses know what they need. When those signals do not meet, buyers struggle to find suitable batteries and usable packs can remain in storage or
be recycled prematurely. The Index reflects activity on the REBATTEX platform and should be viewed as an emerging market indicator rather than a complete measure of the European used EV battery market. The European EV Battery Index is published monthly and made available free of charge.
