Test for peace of mind.

Whether you're keen to confirm the health of your EV battery as your car approaches the end of its warranty period or you want clarity before purchasing a secondhand electric vehicle, our expert technicians can quickly and efficently provide peace of mind with a quick, state-of-the-art mobile process that provides a snapshot of your battery's health at testing time.

Testing is currently available at AutoServe locations in Hobart and Launceston, with the speedy 30-minute evaluation providing a baseline of your battery's performance. It's simple: book online, visit your AutoServe location, undergo testing and drive away with your comprehensive diagnostics report available on the spot.

    Looking to sell your electric vehicle? Our internationally recognised AVILOO certification assures potential buyers of the health of your car battery.

  • Global certification

    With market-leading technology, the AVILOO battery testing unit provides comprehensive, independent diagnostics of the battery's health.

  • Peace of mind

    Essentially a roadworthy test for your electric vehicle, the AVILOO certification gives owners and purchasers protection against costly errors.

  • Wide-ranging testing

    Our battery testing process is available for all major electric vehicle brands sold in Australia.

The entire testing process takes mere minutes.

Buying?

Ask your seller whether or not they have an AVILOO battery test certificate before purchasing. You'll be better placed to understand how the car performs (and what the battery's lifespan is) beyond what the car's internal systems indicate. Plus, AVILOO's independent insights can give you more confidence in the buying process.

Selling?

Give your buyer with peace of mind, with the first-in-class battery testing certification providing a trustworthy source of data to inform their purchase. The detailed report can indicate that battery's future lifespan, any errors or issues that might need to be remedied, and show how the car stacks up against others of its kind.
