\n

Starting next year, Belgian consumers buying a used electric vehicle will, for the first time, be able to check the battery\u2019s condition on the official Car-Pass, the document that certifies a vehicle\u2019s history and which is mandatory in this country.<\/p>\n

Still, the battery's condition health state mention will remain optional until Europe's digital battery passport becomes mandatory on 18 February 2027. Designed to track every stage of a battery\u2019s life, from raw materials to recycling, that system still lacks clear technical standards and data definitions.<\/p>\n

Transparency in the used EV market<\/h4>\n

The Belgian initiative, agreed to by Consumer Affairs Minister Rob Beenders (Vooruit) and Mobility Minister Jean-Luc Crucke (Les Engag\u00e9s), aims to increase transparency in the growing second-hand EV market.<\/p>\n

Until now, buyers could only see mileage, CO\u2082 emissions, and inspection data, while the most essential element \u2014the battery\u2019s State of Health (SoH) \u2014remained a guess. Yet SoH largely determines an electric car\u2019s value and range.<\/p>\n

EU battery passport<\/h4>\n

A European regulation will make a 'battery passport' mandatory by 2027, but Belgium wants to move faster. From January 2026, the battery\u2019s capacity, expressed as a simple percentage, can appear on the Car-Pass, provided the seller agrees to share it. The question is, what method to use, and who is going to certify this?<\/p>\n

For now, there is no single European method to measure a battery\u2019s State of Health (SoH). Each carmaker still relies on its own internal software, meaning results can differ from one brand to another.<\/p>\n

Most carmakers determine a battery\u2019s State of Health (SoH) through the vehicle\u2019s Battery Management System (BMS). The software continuously tracks voltage, current, temperature, and charge cycles.<\/p>\n

Using Coulomb counting, voltage analysis, and proprietary model-based algorithms, the BMS estimates the remaining capacity and power compared to when the battery was new.<\/p>\n

While this approach works well for monitoring performance, each manufacturer uses its own calibration, meaning SoH figures can vary between brands. That's one of the reasons Europe now wants a harmonised, transparent testing standard by 2027.<\/p>\n

Using independent testers<\/h4>\n

In Belgium, the new Car-Pass system will use independent testers such as AVILOO, DEKRA, or T\u00dcV Rheinland to verify the condition of the battery when sellers choose to share it. These voluntary certificates will bridge the gap until 2027, when the EU\u2019s official digital battery passport and harmonised testing rules come into force across Europe.<\/p>\n

AVILOO GmbH, based in Austria, offers a plug-in diagnostic test that measures a car\u2019s actual battery State of Health (SoH) without relying on manufacturer data and issues a T\u00dcV-certified report in minutes. Dealers and inspection centres across Europe already use it.<\/p>\n

Other major players include DEKRA and T\u00dcV Rheinland, which provide certified battery checks through their inspection networks, and Moba Certify in France, whose mobile app and OBD device let garages generate instant SoH certificates.<\/p>\n

Bosch Mobility Solutions and Battery Quick Check (a T\u00dcV\u2013TWAICE partnership) are also developing cloud-based tools for fleets and resale markets.<\/p>\n

In Belgium, these certified battery testers would perform the battery health check and send the verified results to Car-Pass vzw, the organization that manages the national Car-Pass database. Car-Pass then adds this information to the vehicle\u2019s record, so the battery condition appears on the official Car-Pass document when the car is sold.<\/p>\n

Who's going to pay for this?<\/h4>\n
\n

\n

In Belgium, the cost of checking an electric car\u2019s battery health will likely be covered by the seller, much like the current Car-Pass fee, typically \u20ac10.50. Certified test providers are expected to charge around \u20ac40 to \u20ac60 for a quick plug-in test and \u20ac90 to \u20ac150 for a complete diagnostic that measures real capacity.<\/p>\n

These prices mirror those already used in Austria and Germany. Once the EU\u2019s digital battery passport becomes mandatory in 2027, manufacturers will have to supply this data directly, meaning such third-party tests \u2014 and their costs \u2014 may no longer be needed.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Newer EVs are far more durable than expected<\/h4>\n

What Belgium is trying to do is dispel the entrenched public misconception that electric-car batteries only last about 8 years or 100,000 kilometres before needing replacement. This assumption implies a costly problem.<\/p>\n

When electric cars first hit the road, sceptics warned that their batteries would fade long before the rest of the vehicle. A decade later, that prediction looks increasingly outdated. Real-world data now show that modern EVs are aging gracefully, often far better than the early pioneers of electric mobility.<\/p>\n

Active cooling or not<\/h4>\n

Take the first-generation Nissan Leaf or Renault Zoe: without active cooling, many of those early batteries lost noticeable capacity within a few years, especially in warmer climates.<\/p>\n

But the new generation tells a very different story. Tesla\u2019s Model 3, Volkswagen\u2019s ID.3, and Hyundai\u2019s Ioniq 5 typically retain around 90 percent or more of their original capacity even after 100,000 kilometres or more on the road.<\/p>\n

The secret lies in more innovative engineering, improved battery chemistry, active liquid cooling, and sophisticated battery-management systems that control temperature and charging stress with far greater precision.<\/p>\n

Most modern packs lose just a few percent in their first years before settling into a slow, predictable decline of roughly one to two percent per year. In reality, recent studies show that modern EV batteries degrade by only about 1.8 percent per year and often retain more than 80 percent of their capacity even after 200,000 kilometres.<\/p>\n

That loss may slightly reduce range, but it doesn\u2019t mean the battery must be replaced. In most cases, EV batteries continue to perform reliably for 15 to 20 years and, when they eventually reach the end of their automotive life, can often be reused for stationary energy storage.<\/p>\n

Using AI, we dug through real-world data to see how the batteries of popular early EVs are holding up as they enter their \u201csecond life\u201d as used cars.<\/p>\n<\/div>
