EV battery health certification specialist Generational has revealed new data showing that used electric vehicles with a battery health certificate sold more than a week quicker on average than those without.
Benchmarked against the latest available industry sales data covering the past six months, Generational’s study shows used EVs accompanied by battery health certificate sold 7.3 days faster on average than those without – taking 43.1 days to sell, compared with 50.4 days for uncertified vehicles.
The findings show a growing appetite among consumers for clear, accurate and reliable information on the health of EV batteries.
By providing verified information on a vehicle’s battery condition, along with real-world range and remaining warranty, Generational said its state-of-health certificates give buyers greater confidence to go electric and address buyer uncertainty over the condition and longevity of the vehicle’s most valuable component.
As the used EV sector develops, the availability of transparent, easy-to-understand data on battery health is regarded as crucial as mileage has been to ICE vehicles.
Oliver Phillpott, CEO of Generational, said: “This latest data shows just how powerful clear battery health information is in driving buyer confidence and speeding up sales.
“In the electric era, customers want to know far more than just age and mileage – they want to understand how the battery is performing, what range they can expect in the real world and how much warranty remains.
“With transparent, trusted battery health data in hand, buyers can make quicker, more confident decisions, and dealers can sell vehicles faster and more profitably.”
