A new partnership between Generational and Maverick Diagnostics aims to make it much easier for drivers to find the answer through regular battery health checks. As electric vehicles become more common on roads across the UK, many people are choosing them because they produce fewer emissions and have lower running costs. With more drivers buying and selling used electric vehicles, one question has become increasingly important: How healthy is the battery?
Routine battery health checks will also allow the industry to compare different types of batteries, such as the solid-state batteries being developed by companies like QuantumScape Corp. (NYSE: QS) with lithium-ion batteries and other novel battery types being introduced on the market for use in electric vehicles. This comparison is critical as automakers and consumers seek to understand the longevity and performance of various battery technologies.
The partnership between Generational and Maverick Diagnostics is expected to streamline the process of battery health assessment, making it a standard part of vehicle maintenance. This development comes at a time when the used EV market is growing rapidly, and buyers are increasingly concerned about battery degradation, which directly impacts range and resale value. By providing accessible and reliable battery health checks, the initiative could boost consumer confidence in purchasing used EVs.

The move towards routine battery health checks could have significant implications for the automotive industry, potentially leading to standardized battery grading systems similar to those used for conventional car components. This would not only help consumers make informed decisions but also facilitate the growth of the used EV market by providing transparency on battery condition.
