Battery diagnostics specialist AVILOO has launched a warranty product for used EV buyers based on independent battery health data.
The AVILOO Battery Warranty takes effect in July in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Austria, Belgium, Ireland and Switzerland, following launches in France and Sweden in June.
For used EV buyers, the battery—the most expensive component of an EV—remains difficult to assess at the point of purchase. Manufacturer-reported health figures are not independently verified or standardized.
The AVILOO Battery Warranty is designed to address this issue. It is issued as a standalone document separate from AVILOO’s existing battery certificate. It is managed through AVILOO Connect, a digital dashboard for EV remarketing that allows dealers, fleet operators and remarketing platforms to manage battery test lifecycles from vehicle inspection through warranty issuance.
For each vehicle, an individual State of Health (SoH) floor is calculated using AVILOO’s battery diagnostics database. The calculation establishes the minimum SoH the battery must maintain at 20,000 kilometers during the one-year warranty period. Dealers can offer the warranty to buyers without assuming the associated financial risk.
Buyers receive a one-year warranty period during which they can carry out an AVILOO FLASH Test, a three-minute diagnostic that assesses battery capacity, thermal management and charging capability against original factory specifications. The test covers 96% of EV models currently on the road.
If a battery’s SoH falls below the calculated threshold during the warranty period, the buyer receives compensation.
AVILOO’s battery diagnostics service is used by a number of automotive and fleet organizations. Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Porsche Holding have selected AVILOO as a third-party battery testing provider for dealerships in Europe. Several leasing firms and dealership groups have integrated AVILOO’s service into their European operations.
“The AVILOO Battery Warranty raises the used electric vehicle market to a new level,” said Marcus Berger, CEO of AVILOO. “We are providing the foundation for a warranty based solely on objective, independent measurement data. With the Battery Warranty, we are establishing a framework intended to strengthen confidence in used EV transactions.”
