The whole industry is talking about battery diagnostics. Isn't it a little too early for that?
It depends on how a business wants to position itself in the future. We currently hear that most repair stores only see e-cars when changing tires. But the market for used e-cars and plug-in hybrids is growing and will continue to grow in the future, according to the registration figures. And this also means that the independent repair market will be required to provide its customers with reliable information about the condition of the high-voltage battery.
Because in future, the battery will determine the value of a vehicle in the same way as the mileage of a combustion engine: the healthier the battery, the higher the vehicle value.
That's a good argument for the vehicle trade. But for a car workshop?
Also. After all, in future it will also be a question of replacing a battery in an electric vehicle and carrying out repairs. According to insurer Allianz, an HV battery costs between 13,000 and around 46,000 euros - making it the most expensive component of the electric drive. And significantly more expensive than a replacement engine for a combustion engine, for example.
Customers will therefore need a clear statement about the state of their vehicle's HV battery in future. And that requires equipment.
With our BatteryPRO diagnostic and service solutions, we enable independent workshops to carry out battery diagnostics on electric vehicles and thus support them in securing additional business volume beyond the combustion engine.
