New Service Offers Instant Battery Health Check for Used Electric Cars
Electric vehicle (EV) buyers often face the challenge of assessing battery health, a critical aspect that significantly affects an EV’s value. With battery replacement costs ranging from £5,000 to £15,000 or more, understanding a battery’s condition is vital. EV All Day addresses this issue by offering an instant battery health report for just £9.99, providing potential buyers with crucial information before they even see the car.
The service delivers a digital report that estimates the battery’s health, its current range compared to when it was new, and the remaining battery warranty. All that is required is the vehicle’s registration and current mileage, filling a crucial gap in the used EV buying process.
The Importance of Battery Health in EV Valuation
Unlike petrol vehicles where mileage and service history are key indicators of condition, an EV’s value is heavily influenced by its battery health—accounting for up to 40% of the vehicle’s value. However, this crucial information is typically absent from advertisements, official documents, and MOT checks. EV All Day’s service aims to change this by providing an independent assessment of battery health.
Simon Brown, founder of EV All Day, emphasizes the need for this service, stating, “On a petrol car you check the mileage and the service history. On an electric car, the number that decides value is one you simply can’t see: the health of the battery. And no seller is obliged to show it to you.” With EV All Day, buyers can get an honest estimate of the battery’s condition before committing to a viewing.
Details of the Battery Health Report
The £9.99 report utilizes ClearWatt’s EV-specialist data and cross-references it with official DVSA MOT and mileage records. Key elements of the report include:
- An estimated battery health reading and range retention
- A battery health grade when manufacturer data is available
- The current real-world range alongside the official WLTP figure
- Remaining battery warranty details
- Usable and total battery capacity, and more
The service offers two main entry points: a straightforward EV Battery Health Check and a more comprehensive Used EV Check, both providing the same report.
Benefits for Buyers and Sellers
By offering a clear picture of battery health, EV All Day reduces the risk of buying a used EV with an undisclosed degraded battery. Sellers with well-maintained batteries can use the report to justify their pricing, while buyers gain confidence in their purchase decision. Market research suggests that cars with proven battery health sell faster and can command higher prices.
How to Use the Service
To use EV All Day, users simply need to enter a UK registration number and current mileage. After confirming the car as an eligible EV, a secure £9.99 payment is processed through Stripe. The report is then delivered instantly on-screen, via email, and as a downloadable PDF. If a report cannot be generated, a full refund is provided.
EV All Day’s service is available at evallday.com, supporting a wide range of UK electric vehicles, including models from Tesla, Nissan, Kia, and more.
