For dealerships, offering an EV Battery Health Test report builds trust, increases stock appeal, and removes buyer uncertainty around battery performance and range.
Why Battery Health Tests Matter for Buyers
The EV buyer’s market is evolving rapidly. According to the 2024 AVILOO Remarketing Study:
- 75% of used EV buyers expect a battery test certificate to come with the vehicle.
- 57% of new car buyers would consider a used EV if it came with an independent EV battery report.
- 81% of buyers said they trust dealers more when independent battery certificates are supplied.
For most customers, the battery condition is the deciding factor. Buyers want confidence in:
- Battery performance and range – Can the car reliably achieve its stated kilometres?
- State of Health (SoH) – A direct measure from the manufacturer’s battery management system.
- Battery usage and charging history – How the vehicle has been treated by previous owners.
- Diagnostic health of the battery control unit – Ensuring all systems are functioning.
Why Dealers Should Offer EV Battery Health Reports
For dealerships, supplying an independent EV battery certificate removes one of the biggest barriers to sale: uncertainty around battery life. Instead of leaving buyers to guess, you’re offering verified data from industry-leading testing devices.
This helps dealers:
- Increase buyer trust – Clear, independent proof of battery condition.
- Boost sales conversion – Cars with certificates are easier to sell.
- Attract higher-value buyers – Customers looking for long-term reliability choose dealers with testing in place.
- Save money and hassle – Avoid the cost of buying and maintaining battery test equipment yourself.
