One of them is Altelium, a UK startup that has a developed an EV battery state-of-health test and certificate launching this year in more than 7,000 U.S. car dealers and over 5,000 UK dealers through dealer service providers including Assurant and GardX. Austrian startup Aviloo, which has developed a test for dealers and private individuals, has found that after 100,000 kilometres EV battery health can vary by up to 30%.
According to EV battery tracking startup Recurrent, U.S. used EV prices in September were down 32% year-on-year, versus a 7% drop for fossil-fuel models. UK used EV prices were down 23% year-on-year in August while those of fossil-fuel models were up at least 4%, according to AutoTrader, which cited"consumer concerns around battery life in used EVs" as cause for concern.
The resident of Wiener Neustadt, south of Vienna, used Aviloo and found the battery had 90% of its original capacity - with a range of 412 km versus 456 km when new.The race to properly value used EVs is becoming urgent because of a looming influx of vehicles.
