Why battery health is integral to maintaining the residual value of your vehicle
Maintaining good battery health is essential for your EV portfolio, as battery degradation affects market desirability.
The battery is a crucial EV component, affecting performance, range, and residual value. To manage and extend the health of an EV’s battery, you must:
- Avoid over-charging the battery – keep it between 20% and 80%
- Park in shaded areas and avoid extreme climate
- Regularly update vehicle software
- Schedule regular maintenance check-ups for your EV portfolio
By managing your portfolio’s battery health, you can maintain higher RVs and strengthen profit margins.

Why good pricing and marketing strategies can enhance an EV’s residual value
Due to increasing consumer demand and selectivity, selling an electric vehicle requires careful strategic planning with a unique approach to pricing and marketing.
EVs typically depreciate faster early on, which should be considered when you price for warranties and upgrades.
Overpricing or under-pricing an EV can damage your brand and the vehicle’s residual value. To fairly price an electric vehicle, you need accurate data covering batteries, software and infotainment system. Factors like the car’s battery, software, or infotainment system could also enhance its value.
