Used electric car batteries
from BMW.
Comparable to a combustion engine, the electric car battery is the most important component for the performance and competitiveness of an electric vehicle. Some years ago, BMW therefore also began developing expertise in battery technology.
Batteries with an impressive service life.
The durability of BMW electric car batteries is demonstrated by our pioneering electric car, the BMW i3. We have been observing the ageing process of its electric car battery since 2013. Even when developing the BMW i3, we conducted elaborate tests to ensure its capabilities in terms of driving and charging. As a result of increasing battery sizes and technological advancements, our newer BMW electric car batteries offer improved conditions for a longer service life and higher performance.
The performance of a used electric vehicle battery.
How can I tell how long-lasting a used electric car battery will be? What information do I receive from BMW about this before purchasing a used electric car? What can I do to conserve an electric car battery’s performance capabilities? Key information at a glance.
The Battery Health Quick Report determines the capacity.
The range and charging performance of an electric car battery decline over time in line with a normal ageing process. Prioritising slow charging conserves the electric car battery. The Battery Health Quick Report is a test procedure that is conducted on the battery of every used BMW Premium Selection vehicle.
Full transparency regarding the condition of the battery.
The Battery Health Quick Report serves to determine the current state of health (SoH) of the electric car battery. The SoH value defines the maximum energy capacity of a used electric car battery, compared to the original condition of a new battery. The rapid analysis process takes less than an hour. It can verify the performance and condition of an electric car battery. There are measures you can take yourself: a conservative driving style and careful handling will give your electric car battery the longest possible service life. If you have any questions regarding the residual capacity, please contact your Service Partner.

Actual figures will depend on many factors including traffic conditions, driving habits, prevailing conditions and your vehicle’s equipment, condition and use. These figures should not be expected to be achieved in real world driving conditions and should only be used for comparing one vehicle with another. Please contact your preferred authorised BMW dealer or BMW Group Australia for information on vehicles that are available for sale, and the various specifications and options of vehicles that are available.
