The battery capacity of electric cars or plug-in hybrids decreases with use. How quickly a battery actually wears out depends primarily on the number of charging cycles and the frequency of fast charging. For example, modern lithium-ion batteries can last up to 3000 charging cycles; Here you can find a few tips on how to protect the battery.
Anyone looking to buy a second-hand electric car or sell their own car wants to know what the “health” of the battery is. The remaining power of the battery largely determines the value of the electric vehicle, as does its age and mileage, just like with internal combustion engines. So how do you find out what the condition of the battery is?

Winterthur insurance group Axa has been offering its customers the solution with the electric vehicle with Axa insurance since the beginning of October 2023: “To shed light on the darkness, Axa offers its customers new simplified and discounted access to a proven service testing procedure.” explains Jérôme Pahud, President of Axa Mobility Insurance.
Independent, cross-manufacturer testing by Austrian battery diagnostics specialist Aviloo compares the actual usable energy with the amount of energy available when new. This is how the condition of the battery is determined and you know how much range it still has. This happens via an external measuring device that is ordered and then connected to the vehicle.
Easier to buy or sell
Anyone interested in used electric vehicles no longer needs to suddenly buy a pig. This even makes selling the electric car easier. It also becomes clear for those who want to buy their vehicles on lease or who want to check the condition of the electric battery in general.
In addition to Axa, the Swiss Automobile Club (ACS) also has a partnership with Aviloo, the world’s first and only independent testing procedure provider. Everyone who is insured with Axa or a member of ACS benefits from special conditions.
