Aviloo and the Used EV Battery Trust Problem

About this episode

This episode discusses the trust issues surrounding used electric vehicle batteries and features insights from Aviloo's CEO on battery diagnostics.

Used electric vehicles have a trust problem. Battery state of health determines range, resale value, charging performance, and buyer confidence, but most buyers still cannot verify battery condition through an independent source. In this episode of Startuprad.io, Jörn Menninger speaks with Marcus Berger, CEO and partner at Aviloo, the Austrian battery diagnostics company building independent EV battery testing infrastructure. The discussion covers Aviloo’s flash test, OEM data limitations, the EU battery passport, US expansion, growth financing, and the future of used EV certification.
