Polestar introduces battery health certificates for pre-owned cars in the UK

Swedish electric sports car brand Polestar has introduced battery state-of-health certificates for its pre-owned Polestar 2 models.

The certificate, which documents the usable battery capacity as a percentage, is designed to give EV drivers confidence in the health of their vehicle batteries.

Every pre-owned Polestar has an extensive 112-point check, a 24-month warranty and the remainder of the eight-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty, effective from the date of first registration. All pre-owned Polestar 2s now undergo a battery state-of-health check, which is presented to customers before their purchase.

Polestar has opened its first pre-owned Space in Birmingham, UK focused on selling fully checked pre-owned Polestars.

Pre-owned Polestar 2, Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 models continue to receive over-the-air (OTA) updates, allowing the company to keep improving them over time. Since its launch in 2020, Polestar 2 has received over 20 OTA updates, including efficiency gains extending the car’s range through battery management, new functionality with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as various apps including Waze and YouTube.

“Where customers may have been apprehensive about a five-year-old Polestar 2 and its battery condition, Polestar is giving car buyers transparency and providing peace of mind,” said Matt Galvin, Managing Director, Polestar UK.
