Making the most of EV batteries is crucial to improve the total cost of ownership for your electric vehicle fleet. This is even more important for larger bus and truck fleets, given their substantial and more expensive battery assets.
Beyond the immediate benefits of properly managing your battery, like minimising maintenance costs and protecting EV range, the long-term benefits are equally significant. The emerging second-hand EV market presents a transformative opportunity for fleets looking to turn electrification into a new revenue stream. As more businesses make the switch to electric, participating in the used EV battery market could become a profitable opportunity.
The used EV battery market offers a lucrative future opportunity for large fleets.
Apprehensions over battery health and degradation are key barriers when it comes to buying a used battery, however. Alongside optimal battery management, it is essential to retain an EV battery dataset that gives concrete evidence on battery state of health (SoH). Consumers in the second-hand market will demand assurances on battery performance, and in return sellers can secure higher prices by providing this guarantee.
It’s essential to retain an EV battery dataset that gives concrete evidence on battery health and performance.
As part of our holistic EV battery charging and management services, we prioritise not just the protection of the battery, but also the provision of a full dataset on battery health. Without this evidence, fleets risk losing out on significant revenues from the used battery market.
ZeroCarbon Battery is our solution dedicated to optimising the performance of your EV battery, protecting it from premature degradation and maximising it’s residual value. We also consider battery condition when managing EV charging for our customers’ fleets – delivering efficient and reliable charging that prioritises long-term battery performance.
“A robust battery dataset is essential to unlock enhanced revenues from used EVs. It provides concrete evidence on battery health, instilling buyer confidence and enabling higher resale values in the second-hand market.” – Robert Hollinshead, Product Manager
