Used EV batteries are performing “materially better” than widespread assumptions, according to a major new real-world study.
As ultra-fast charging becomes the default rather than the exception, charging power – not mileage or climate – is now the biggest driver of EV battery ageing.
A new promise guaranteeing battery health of 90% or above has boosted UK dealers’ confidence and appetite to buy used electric vehicles.
EV battery testing and analytics company ClearWatt has partnered with EVA England to improve buyer confidence in used EVs.
A new EV verification service that lets Brits check the history of second-hand EVs has launched from ClearWatt.
EV battery health remains high even after vehicles have racked up 100,000-plus miles on the road, new analysis has found.
Electric vehicle batteries should now last 20 years or more on average, new data from Geotab indicates.
