Generational and Maverick Diagnostics Partner to Bring EV Battery Health Testing to UK Workshops
The partnership will make Generational's testing kits and software available through Maverick's network of around 6,000 independent auto repair shops.
Generational, a UK specialist in EV battery condition diagnostics, has partnered with Maverick Diagnostics to make battery health testing accessible to thousands of automotive workshops across the country.
What Happened
Under the agreement, Generational will distribute its testing kits, fulfil workshop orders and provide the software platform that powers its battery health checks, State of Health reporting and customer-facing certificates. Maverick Diagnostics will market the technology and provide educational insights for workshops. The company serves around 6,000 auto repair shops across the UK, giving independent repairers a route to add EV battery testing to their customer offering.
Why It Matters
As used EVs on UK roads increase, battery condition has become an important consideration for consumers, retailers and repair shops. Generational's recent Battery Performance Index, based on more than 8,000 EV battery assessments across the UK, found that average battery State of Health stands at 95.15 percent. However, variation between vehicles increases with age, reinforcing the importance of testing on a case-by-case basis. The companies are encouraging EV owners to include battery condition checks as part of annual vehicle maintenance.
The Bottom Line
Generational's testing uses a compact device that connects to the vehicle OBD port, enabling software to assess key battery condition data and produce reports for customers. "Battery health should not be something consumers only discover when they are buying a car, selling a car or when something goes wrong," said Oliver Phillpott, CEO of Generational.
