The current 2006 Batteries Directive identifies three categories of batteries. A fourth one for batteries in Electric Vehicles (EVs) is already included in the December 2020 legislative proposal currently being discussed by the European co-legislators. For the moment, these targets exclude batteries that power LMT products until 2030.
