The 24-point check

What we inspect, what we measure, and what you get in writing before you pay.

Why 24 points, and why written down

Buying second-hand usually means taking someone’s word for the battery. We do not sell on that basis. Every vehicle is inspected in six groups, the measurements go into a report, and the report travels with the vehicle.

Two numbers carry the most weight: measured battery capacity and the range we recorded on a fixed test route. Both are stated with the conditions they were measured under, so you can compare them with your own ride.
