Electric vehicle batteries: the French EPR scheme behind the line
Direct answer: Batteries of electrified vehicles (category 5 of the French batteries regulation: e-bikes, e-scooters, cars) have their own French scheme, distinct from portable batteries. Recycler Mon Véhicule is the eco-organisation approved for it; the registration gives one identifier for this scheme.
What the category covers
Traction batteries of light electric vehicles and cars, sold alone or with the vehicle: e-bike batteries, e-scooter packs, replacement traction batteries. Portable batteries (remote controls, power tools) stay in the portable batteries scheme.
The eco-organisation and the number
Approved by the French state for batteries of electrified vehicles: Recycler Mon Véhicule. The fee is calculated per battery or per kg; the tariff versions, their dates and the official documents are on the public register of FrenchEPR. After registration, one identifier (FRxxxxxx_xx) for this scheme, listed in the French public register — the line of the screen expects that one, not a number of another scheme.

What UIN France does for this line
Under a written mandate, REP·Pro registers your company with the eco-organisation of this scheme, obtains the identifier in your name, prepares and files the declarations from the volumes you give, and stands as the representative established in France. The eco-organisation invoices its own contributions; we pass them on without margin. This line alone is the Starter plan (€29 a month, 12-month plan); with other lines it counts towards Pro or Complete.
