JAKARTA - A British technology company, Clearwatt will launch an application that can calculate battery health conditions in electric-driven cars (EVs).

Launching from Autocar, Friday, January 31, the system, called EV Health Checker, is a paid application with a tag of 30 pounds (Rp600 thousand) and will be launched in the coming weeks.

This system works using EV car data and information connected to the user's smartphone to provide a detailed picture of battery efficiency and performance in real terms.

The app provides EV battery health assessments such as future battery degradation forecasts based on previous performances as well as car range predictions in various scenarios.

Clearwatt's Co-Founder and Managing Director, Patrick Cresswell said the introduction of the app was to help EV drivers find out the actual condition of their car.

"Currently, most electric vehicle drivers don't have their cars so they don't realize their condition," said Cresswell.

Of course this application will really help EV users. What's more, EV battery data is very difficult to obtain and the delivery of this matter from several brands will be different.

This makes it almost impossible to represent the standard health standards of electric vehicle batteries, especially for used EV car buyers. It is hoped that this system can help EV users find out the rate of battery degradation in their cars.

Telematics company Geotab reports that the latest electric car has experienced battery degradation with an average of 1.8 percent per year or a slight development compared to 2019 reaching 2.3 percent.

Nonetheless, the battery component still has a high level of sensitivity to several factors, including the surrounding temperature, thermal management, and charging patterns.

According to Geotab, the battery condition is influenced by how often the battery is filled quickly. It is said that battery fast charging more than three times per month can accelerate relegation up to three times.
