CARCHECKHQ REPORT GUIDE
Used electric-car checks and battery information
Battery capacity and advertised range can help you understand a model. Assessing the battery in a particular used car needs different evidence.
Current coverage
The source may supply reference battery capacity, usable capacity and range. CarCheckHQ does not currently provide a measured battery state-of-health test, charging history or verified remaining battery warranty.
How to interpret coverage and missing informationReference capacity is not measured battery health
Read the units and the exact specification. A reference range is not a promise of the distance this vehicle will cover, and an original capacity figure is not a measurement of its present usable energy.
Request evidence for the particular car
Ask the seller for any recent battery assessment, service records and relevant warranty documents. Check what an assessment measured, when it was carried out and which vehicle it identifies. Have questions about the battery or charging equipment assessed by an appropriate specialist.
Before you make a decision
- Match the battery specification to the exact derivative.
- Request a recent vehicle-specific battery assessment where available.
- Check the actual warranty terms and inspect charging equipment with appropriate help.
Common questions
Can the report tell me the battery's state of health?
No. The current report provides source reference figures where supplied, not a physical battery test or a measured state-of-health certificate.
