AVILOO battery test certificates drive used EV sales and maximize profits
AVILOO is world market leader in battery diagnosis for used electric cars and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Its comprehensive battery testing technology is considered as industry standard. When it comes to remarketing electric cars and plug-in hybrids, dealers and buyers are facing challenges that primarily relate to the condition of the traction battery. This is where AVILOO’s battery tests and certified reports kick in.
The 3-minutes AVILOO FLASH Test is the fastest, detailed battery test currently available. It is manufacturer-independent and provides transparency and certainty concerning State of Health (SoH), remaining capacity and probable defects. AVILOO tests cover 95% of all available EV brands. An international customer research and market survey conducted across Europe in 2024 revealed the various benefits for remarketers providing battery test certificates.
Profit increase: When a battery report is presented, customers are willing to pay a higher price for the vehicle, ranging from at least € 550 to € 1,100 (minimum).
Sales opportunities: The availability of SoH-certificates increases the pool of potential buyers for used EVs by 36%.
Expansion of buyer base: EV customers are often new car buyers. The study shows that an independent certified battery test certificate can elevate the market for used EVs to a new level. In fact, 57% of typical new e-car buyers would consider purchasing a used e-vehicle, if it comes with a battery test certificate.
Customer satisfaction: 75% of buyers of used EVs already expect to receive a certificate or report on the battery’s SoH (State of Health).
Dealer’s reputation: Among 81% of buyers, dealers of used EVs who offer an SoH certificate enjoy a particularly trustworthy image.
Automated Integration – AVILOO also provides the feature of the FLASH Test Report PREVIEW, which is the fully automated API-integration of the test reports and certificates into car ads on online sales platforms for used electric cars.
