A previous owner’s bad charging habits can reduce the value of a used EV by thousands of dollars
You can never really know whether the previous owner of a used ICE car was the kind of caring, diligent driver who warmed the oil thoroughly at the start of every journey and never let the tach past 3,500 rpm, or if he bounced the thing off its limiter each morning on his five-minute commute to work. But based on service records, mileage, and the condition of the rest of the car, it’s not hard to come up with a value. Things are trickier when you’re looking at EVs.
It’s already possible to check an EV’s health by looking at its predicted range readout and some EVs already have in-built calculators that claim to show battery health. But doubt over the accuracy of that data had led to firms like Altelium establishing independent tests. The UK startup offers a health certificate to go with its tests, and it’s being launched in 7,000 U.S. dealers and 5,000 UK dealers this year, Reuters says.
