Buying a used electric vehicle doesn’t have to feel risky.
At Kentson Car Company, we believe confidence comes from clarity. That’s why we test nearly every used EV battery with Voltest, so you know exactly what you’re buying — before you buy it.
No guessing. No surprises. Just honest answers.
Why People Feel Unsure About Used EVs
We hear it all the time:
- “How healthy is the battery?”
- “What if the range isn’t what I expect?”
- “What if I’m stuck with a bad EV?”
These are fair questions. Unlike gas vehicles, the battery is the most important part of an EV — and it’s also the most expensive component to replace.
Most dealerships don’t test it.
We do.
The Battery Is the Engine
With a gas car, mileage tells part of the story.
With an EV, battery health tells almost the whole story.
Two EVs can look identical, drive great, and have similar mileage — yet have very different battery conditions based on charging habits, climate exposure, and usage history.
That’s why looks alone aren’t enough.
How Kentson Protects You: Voltest Battery Health Testing
Kentson uses Voltest, a professional EV battery diagnostics tool, to evaluate battery health on nearly every used EV we sell.
Voltest helps us understand:
- Overall battery health

Used EV Buying FAQ
How long do EV batteries actually last?
Most modern EV batteries are designed to last many years and well over 100,000 miles. Like any battery, they slowly lose capacity over time — which is normal. The key is knowing how much capacity remains, not just how old the vehicle is. That’s exactly why we test battery health.
What does Voltest actually test?
Voltest measures the health and condition of the EV battery, including degradation and performance indicators. It helps us understand how the battery is aging and what you can reasonably expect from it moving forward.
We don’t rely on guesses — we rely on data.
Will I be able to see the Voltest report?
Yes. Always.
We show you the Voltest battery report and explain what it means in plain language. No hidden results, no confusing jargon. If you have questions, we’ll walk through it together.
Do all dealerships test EV batteries like this?
No — most don’t.
Many dealerships sell used EVs without any formal battery health testing. At Kentson, we believe battery transparency is essential, which is why we test nearly every used EV before it’s offered for sale.
Does cold Utah weather hurt EV batteries?
Cold weather can temporarily reduce driving range, but it does not permanently damage a healthy battery. EVs are designed to operate in cold climates, and battery management systems help protect long-term health.
Voltest helps confirm the battery’s actual condition — regardless of season.
Is battery replacement expensive?
Battery replacement can be costly, which is why understanding battery health before buying matters so much. Our goal is to help you avoid that situation altogether by only selling used EVs that meet our standards.
What if I don’t understand the battery report?
That’s okay — most people don’t at first.
Our team will explain the Voltest results clearly and answer any questions you have. There’s no rush and no pressure to move forward until you’re comfortable.
Can I still test drive the EV like a normal vehicle?
Absolutely. You can still enjoy:
- Solo test drives
- A relaxed, low-pressure experience
- Time to explore the vehicle at your pace
Buying an EV at Kentson feels just like buying any other vehicle — just with more transparency.
Why does Kentson go through all this extra effort?
Because we don’t want anyone stuck with a bad used EV.
We believe trust is built by doing the right thing upfront — even when it takes extra time. Battery testing is part of our commitment to making car buying easier, clearer, and more comfortable.
