Aviloo is introducing a battery warranty for used EVs, based on independent battery health data, that offers used car buyers compensation if battery health falls below a predicted threshold.
This warranty from the independent EV battery diagnostics specialist, is being introduced simultaneously in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Austria, Belgium, Ireland and Switzerland in July, following successful rollouts in France and Sweden in June.
It is issued as a standalone document, separate from Aviloo’s existing independent battery certificate.
The warranty is managed via Aviloo Connect, a new digital dashboard for professional EV remarketing, giving dealers, fleets and remarketing platforms a single interface to manage battery test lifecycles from incoming inspection through to warranty issuance.
For each individual vehicle, a State of Health (SoH) floor is calculated using Aviloo’s proprietary diagnostics database.
The calculation sets the minimum SoH the battery must maintain at 20,000 kilometres over the one-year warranty period.
During the one-year warranty period, buyers can carry out a three-minute, manufacturer-neutral Aviloo Flash Test.
This is a diagnostic that assesses real battery capacity, thermal management and charging capability against original factory specifications, covering 96% of EV models currently on the road.
If the battery’s SoH falls below the calculated threshold during the warranty period, the buyer gets £2,700 in compensation as well as a refund for the Flash Test costs.
Marcus Berger, CEO of Aviloo, said, “The UK has one of Europe’s most dynamic used EV markets, and we see enormous appetite from both dealers and consumers to get this right.
“With the battery warranty, we are setting a new industry standard, one that provides orientation for all market participants, strengthens the case for electric mobility and ensures that used EVs are seen not as a risk, but as a sustainable, trustworthy choice.”
