VoltaScan

Volta-Scan’s mission is to bring more trust, transparency, and technical clarity to the used electric vehicle market. As electric vehicles become more common, battery health is becoming one of the most important factors in the value of a used vehicle. However, for many independent garages and used car professionals, battery condition is still difficult to assess, explain, and document in a simple and reliable way. Volta-Scan aims to help independent garages better understand and present the condition of a used EV battery before a sale. The goal is not only to provide a number, but to create a clear and traceable diagnostic workflow that helps professionals make better decisions, reduce risk, and give buyers more confidence. The long-term mission is to make battery diagnostics more accessible to garages that do not have the technical resources of large automotive groups, while keeping the process prudent, transparent, and based on verifiable data.

The used electric vehicle market is growing, but battery health remains one of its biggest sources of uncertainty. For a buyer, the battery is one of the most expensive and important parts of the vehicle. A used EV can look clean, drive well, and still have a battery condition that affects its real value, future autonomy, resale potential, and customer satisfaction. For independent garages, this creates several problems. They often need to buy, sell, or advise on used EVs without having a simple and trusted way to document the state of the battery. Many garages are not battery specialists, and existing technical data can be difficult to access, interpret, or explain to a customer. This creates risk at several levels: the garage may overpay for a vehicle during a trade-in; the buyer may lack confidence before purchasing; the seller may struggle to justify the price; the garage may be exposed to disputes after the sale; the battery condition may be reduced to a simple percentage without enough context; the quality of the diagnostic session may not always be clear. Large automotive groups and major remarketing players can access more a

Solution Volta-Scan is building a B2B SaaS platform combined with a diagnostic dongle to help independent garages assess and document the battery condition of used electric vehicles. The garage connects the dongle to the vehicle. The device collects available battery-related data through the vehicle’s diagnostic interface. This data is then processed by the Volta-Scan platform, which checks the quality and consistency of the session before generating a clear battery report. The value of Volta-Scan is not only the collection of data. The platform is designed to provide a full diagnostic workflow: vehicle and session identification; battery data collection; data quality checks; consistency controls; confidence level; traceable session history; clear report generation; refusal when the data is not sufficient; support for garages during use. A key principle of Volta-Scan is prudence. The system should not produce a misleading report if the available data is incomplete, inconsistent, or unreliable. In that case, the platform should refuse the diagnostic result and explain why. This approach helps garages avoid relying blindly on a single number. Instead, Volta-Scan aims to provide a more transparent report, showing not only the result, but also the quality of the diagnostic session and the limits of the information available. The initial focus is on independent garages and used car professionals. Volta-Scan is not trying to compete directly with large established players from day one. The strategy is to start with a focused, local, garage-first approach: simple onboarding, clear reports, strong traceability, and practical support for professionals who need to build trust when selling used EVs. In the long term, Volta-Scan can become a recurring SaaS solution for garages, with subscriptions, reports, vehicle history, updates, and additional tools to help professionals manage EV battery diagnostics more confidently.
