The State of Health (SoH) function within the HV Battery Diagnosis PRO by Hella Gutmann provides a fact-based diagnosis of the health status of high-voltage batteries in electric vehicles. This function is crucial for determining the value of electric cars, as the condition of the traction battery directly impacts the vehicle’s value and cannot simply be inferred from mileage.
The SoH function allows the traction battery to be evaluated directly during charging in the workshop, eliminating the need for a test drive. This is achieved using the existing AC infrastructure in the workshop, minimizing additional investments. The entire process is independent and TÜV Rheinland-certified, resulting in a reliable Battery Quick Check report on the battery’s health status.
For fleets and leasing companies, the SoH function provides specific insights into the health of the traction battery. If necessary, usage behavior can be adjusted to achieve the intended residual value of electric vehicles. This enables companies to make fact-based decisions regarding the management and remarketing of their electric vehicles.
In summary, the SoH function within the HV Battery Diagnosis PRO offers an efficient and reliable method for assessing the health of high-voltage batteries, which is essential for accurate valuation and optimizing the use of electric vehicles.
