The word from Copart for you;
More EV and hybrid vehicles are entering the UK car parc, fuelled by the rise of more affordable Chinese brands and an and an influx of nearly- new fleet and lease vehicles. Here at Copart, we’ve seen this first-hand, with EVs and hybrids being our biggest growth area year-on-year.
But with values fluctuating unpredictably, our buyers are understandably looking for greater reassurance, particularly when it comes to battery performance.
At the same time, our sellers want to ensure they’re achieving the best possible value for their vehicles. That’s where our latest innovation comes in.
A clearer picture of battery health
We’ve introduced a new EV Battery Health Report in partnership with Aviloo — a trusted independent specialist in EV battery diagnostics.
Where available, this free report will be provided for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in our online auctions, giving our buyers even greater visibility and confidence when bidding.
They will be able to access a detailed overview of the battery condition, including:
- An overall battery health score
- Insights into voltage performance
- Identification of any potential faults
Helping buyers bid with confidence
We know how important it is for our buyers to have all the facts at their fingertips when making purchasing decisions.
By making battery health more transparent and easier to understand, we’re helping remove some of the uncertainty that can come with buying an EV.
The report is simple to access too — available to purchase and download directly from the Lot page.
Ultimately, it’s about giving buyers the reassurance they need to bid confidently and because it’s independently verified, they can trust the information they’re seeing.
Delivering stronger results for sellers
Of course, greater confidence for buyers leads to better outcomes for our sellers.
When buyers have a clearer picture of a vehicle’s condition (especially something as critical as EV battery performance) they’re more likely to place bids – driving stronger auction activity and better returns.
Supporting a growing EV marketplace
We know that as the number of used EVs entering the market continues to rise, transparency and trust are becoming more important for our buyers.
By introducing our EV Battery Health Report, we’re supporting the growth of a more robust, informed and confident EV marketplace — helping both our buyers and our sellers navigate this evolving landscape with ease.
