The BVRLA is assembling an advisory group of battery experts on 16 May to explore ways of promoting greater confidence in the used electric vehicle market. Battery degradation is one of the biggest concerns for potential used battery electric vehicle (BEV) buyers, and organisations across the automotive supply chain are exploring ways of accurately measuring and recording health status.
Titled ‘Battery Health: supercharge your knowledge’, the BVRLA’s half-day ‘Deep Dive’ event, taking place in central London, will include panel discussions and keynote speeches from battery engineers, health-check providers and the UK Department for Transport. The association is hosting the event in partnership with Auto Trader, whose regular market insights have tracked an increasing supply/demand imbalance in the new and used BEV market, and highlighted the wider implications for the market.
“As the new electric vehicle market grows and matures, it is only natural that the spotlight shifts to the other end of the automotive value chain,” said Toby Poston, director of corporate affairs at the BVRLA. “Recent history has highlighted the perils of flawed vehicle data. The BVRLA is working with Government and colleagues across the fleet sector industry to promote battery health information that is reliable, accessible and useable.”
The BVRLA Deep Dive will explore current trends in battery technology and degradation before examining the latest developments in battery health monitoring. The DfT will give a perspective on attempts to produce global standards in this area, while Auto Trader will share its latest data and insights on the used BEV market. A limited number of tickets are still available, full details and online registration are available on the Fleets in Charge webpage.

We have seen new electric vehicle sales go from strength to strength in recent years. As those vehicles start to filter through to the used market, the spotlight is being shone on battery health, vehicle reliability and residual values.
I’m excited to be joining the BVRLA’s Battery Health Deep Dive event in London in a couple of weeks. It is set to explore the topic in real detail, with battery engineers and representatives from the companies leading the way in battery health checks taking to the stage.
I look forward to seeing many of my industry contacts there on Tuesday 16 May.
