BCA announces EV Battery Health Grading service
BCA has announced it is introducing a new EV Battery Health Grading service which will allow customers to buy electric vehicles with even greater confidence.
This comes after BCA has reported record levels of used EV sales so far in 2024 and is on track to sell in excess of 40,000 units over the next 12 months
In a first for the UK remarketing sector, BCA’s Battery Health Grading provides an at-a-glance view of an electric vehicle’s traction battery condition. Each vehicle is given a grading from A-E along with a score of between 0 and 100 based on its remaining capacity. The score is calculated by the manufacturer-independent AVILOO battery ‘FLASH Test’.
The BCA Battery Health Grading is displayed on the vehicle detail page, on vehicle search results and on the Live Bidding screens.
BCA COO Stuart Pearson said:
“The new BCA battery health grading helps our buyer customers to bid on electric vehicles with complete confidence and make more informed decisions when buying. The service offers absolute transparency with unbiased testing and grading, providing a reusable report that will further help the retail process. For our sellers, the report will provide the opportunity to resolve any issues in advance of the sale event, along with optimising residual values by removing any uncertainty discounting.”
