Why Battery State of Health Certificates Matter When Buying a Used Electric Car
As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, more people are starting to look at the used EV market. But buying a used electric car is a little different from buying a petrol or diesel one — and one of the biggest differences is the battery.
That’s where the Battery State of Health (SoH) Certificate comes in.
At Great Central Auto, we’re proud to provide a Battery SoH Certificate with every electric vehicle we sell. But what exactly is it — and why is it so important? Let’s take a closer look.
What Is a Battery State of Health Certificate?
Simply put, the Battery State of Health (SoH) measures how much energy a battery can hold compared to when it was new.
It’s given as a percentage — for example, an SoH of 95% means the battery retains 95% of its original capacity. Over time, as with any rechargeable battery, this number slowly drops due to natural wear and tear.
The SoH Certificate provides this information clearly, showing:
The exact battery health percentage
The date the test was carried out
Details on how the test was performed
It’s an easy way to see exactly how healthy the EV’s battery is before you buy.
Why Battery Health Is So Important When Buying a Used EV
The battery is the most valuable component of an electric vehicle, often making up a significant portion of its cost. Knowing its condition helps you:
Understand the true value of the car
Gauge the real-world driving range you can expect
Avoid unexpected costs down the line
Buy with confidence, knowing there are no hidden surprises
A healthy battery means better performance, a longer range, and peace of mind that your EV will serve you well for years to come.
