How Healthy Is That EV Battery?

From Electric Vehicle Society.

Two used EVs can have the same mileage—but one battery could be at 95% health while the other is closer to 80%. How can a buyer know the difference?

Zora Chung, Co-Founder and CFO of ReJoule, explains why an EV’s odometer and onboard battery-management system may not reveal the full condition of its most valuable component.

Discover how ReJoule applies electrochemical impedance spectroscopy—or EIS—to assess an EV battery in approximately 10 minutes. Zora also explores how better battery diagnostics could support used-EV buyers, lower repair costs, enable battery remanufacturing and keep healthy batteries in service longer.

Topics include:

• EV battery State of Health
• Used-EV battery testing
• Battery-management systems and their limitations
• ReJoule’s rapid diagnostic technology
• Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
• EV battery repair and remanufacturing
• NMC and LFP battery recycling
• Battery reuse and second-life energy storage
• Right-to-repair legislation
• Battery passports and diagnostic standards

Whether you own an EV, are considering buying one used or want to understand what happens to EV batteries after their first life, this presentation offers a fascinating look inside the emerging battery-diagnostics and circular-economy industries.
