In a significant move to boost transparency in the used electric vehicle (EV) market, Ayvens Carmarket, a leading European car remarketing platform, has introduced a battery State of Health (SoH) certification for its used battery electric vehicles (BEVs) across Europe. The initiative is aimed at building buyer confidence and enhancing trust in the second-hand EV market.
What Is Battery State of Health (SoH) Certification?
The SoH certificate evaluates the current battery capacity as a percentage of its original capacity, providing crucial insights into the vehicle’s remaining driving range and resale value. Diagnostics are performed by accredited companies certified by the European Car Remarketing Association (CARA). The process reads data directly from the Battery Management System (BMS), including parameters such as voltage, temperature, charging history, and usable capacity.
Availability Across Europe
SoH certificates are currently available for used EVs sold via Ayvens Carmarket’s showrooms and online platforms in countries including France, Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, Finland, and the Czech Republic. The company plans to expand certification to additional European markets in the coming months, reinforcing its commitment to supporting electric mobility and sustainable transportation.
Addressing Buyer Concerns
Battery performance is often the primary concern for second-hand EV buyers. With the introduction of SoH certification, Ayvens provides transparent and reliable battery information, enabling customers to make informed purchasing decisions. This move also strengthens the circular economy, prolonging EV lifespans, reducing waste, and supporting the mass adoption of electric vehicles.
Conclusion
Ayvens Carmarket’s battery health certification represents a major step forward for the European used EV market, offering trustworthy insights into battery performance and encouraging confident EV adoption. By providing transparency and data-driven assurance, Ayvens aims to drive the sustainable growth of the electric mobility ecosystem across Europe.
