BCA has reported record levels of used EV sales at the half-year point as it launches an upgraded EV report certificate.

The auction specialist hit a new milestone for electric vehicle sales in the last week of June, with nearly 1,300 EVs, both cars and LCVs, sold over the seven days.

The average value of EVs sold by BCA across the week was just over £19,000, while each vehicle had more than 20 different digital views on BCA’s online catalogues, demonstrating growing buyer interest.

At the half-year point, BCA has sold over 26,000 EVs, more than a 1,000 every week on average as demand for electric vehicles has lifted through 2025.

BCA chief operating officer Stuart Pearson commented: “This year we have continued to see rising volumes of EVs sold in our online auctions and values have become less volatile as demand has risen.”

BCA continues to invest in measures to build confidence in EV remarketing, such as its Battery Health Grading and BCA EV Assured reports.

The company’s Battery Health Grading for electric vehicles debuted last year, delivering an analysis tool for determining battery health on used EVs.

It’s proved popular with BCA customers, allowing them to bid on electric vehicles with complete confidence and make more informed decisions when buying.

During BCA’s record EV week, the average battery score was 94.6%, across a basket of vehicles averaging three years, two months old. Since BCA introduced the enhanced Battery Health Grading, sales volumes of EVs through BCA’s Online Sales programme have risen by 75%.

BCA has also now launched an upgraded EV report certificate including many new features that provide a statement of health percentage and a graphical benchmark comparison of the vehicle’s battery health versus similar model/age/mileage vehicles, for a true indication of condition. The report also provides finer detail and explanation for multiple areas of the battery, to support informed decisions on maintenance, resale value and warranty claims.

Stuart Pearson closed: “The steady growth in EV volumes and increased engagement from buyers for this product shows a marketplace that is starting to mature and become established across the wider used vehicle sector. BCA will continue to support growth and innovation in this sector to meet the needs of our customers.”
