Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to present the first, global, pro-ecological, end-to-end supply chain of electric vehicles’ batteries – Battery Chain, which is provided by one of the biggest LLP company – Kuehne+Nagel. The offer consists of three levels of service and wide range of individual operations, dedicated to automotive customers. The activities have been divided into two groups: Inbound to Manufacturer and Aftersale. By using first steps of SWOT analysis, the relationships between internal properties and external opportunities and threats have been identified. The potential implications of economical and legal amendments, which will accelerate pro-ecological initiatives of batteries’ manufacturers have been discussed. The supply chain can aid achieving multiple ecological goals, primarily reducing the amount of CO2 emission during batteries’ logistics management.
