Why Range Testing Matters
The range of an electric vehicle depends almost entirely on the condition of its high-voltage battery. Even if the car looks perfect and drives well, a degraded battery can limit how far you can travel, affect resale value, and lead to expensive replacements.
Without a proper test, buyers often have to rely on dashboard estimates or seller claims — which may not tell the full story.
Methods to Check an EV’s Battery Range
- On-board display: Most EVs show an estimated range, but this can be influenced by recent driving habits, weather, and charging patterns.
- Test drive and range observation: Driving the vehicle for a set distance and monitoring battery use can give some insight, but it’s not a precise measurement of battery health.
- Professional EV battery test: The most accurate way to determine true range potential is to measure the battery’s State of Health (SoH) with specialist diagnostic equipment.
The Most Accurate Way to Test EV Battery Range
RedBook Inspect offers Australia’s first mobile EV battery health test using the Aviloo Flash Test — the world’s leading independent EV battery diagnostic tool. The Aviloo test plugs into the car’s diagnostic port and runs advanced checks to measure the battery’s SoH, charge capacity, and performance under real conditions. The results provide a certified report showing how much usable capacity is left, giving you a reliable picture of the car’s actual range potential.
