Auto Selection's EV NEXT takes the ambiguity out of pre-owned EVs with its complimentary battery health testing and certification process. EV adoption has been growing rapidly in recent times. Just last year, 45% of new cars registered in Singapore were fully electric. With more EVs than ever on the road, naturally, there has naturally been an uptick in the number of used EVs available for sale. However, many used car buyers remain cautious about purchasing a used EV, largely due to concerns surrounding the State of Health (SOH) of its most expensive component - the high-voltage battery. EV NEXT by Auto Selection, the pre-owned arm of Sime Motors Singapore, takes care of such worries with its complimentary battery state-of-health testing and certification, so you can buy your pre-owned EV without worry. EV NEXT takes the guesswork out of your used EV purchase The high-voltage batteries inside EVs gradually lose capacity over the course of regular use - much like the battery in your old iPhone. However, depending on usage patterns, the level of degradation can vary. You would want to avoid used EVs with severe battery degradation, as reduced range can significantly affect usability, and battery repairs are typically expensive. EV NEXT takes the guesswork out of used EV shopping by assessing the battery SOH of each car as a standard offering. Only EVs with a battery SOH of 85% or higher will be offered by EV NEXT. Not just about the battery - a comprehensive 72-point inspection While EV NEXT is a pre-owned EV specialist that offers complimentary EV battery health certification for its inventory, its inspection process does not stop there. Although battery health is critical, an EV still comprises other components that require careful inspection to ensure overall vehicle reliability. With a comprehensive 72-point vehicle inspection as part of EV NEXT's certification process, the condition of each vehicle is assured, with no unwanted surprises. Quality cars and support from a veteran in the industry EV NEXT by Auto Selection is backed by Sime Motors Singapore, an established automotive group that includes authorised dealerships such as Performance Motors Limited (PML) and Vantage Automotive Limited (VAL). As a result, EV NEXT's inventory is sourced primarily from its own network in Singapore, including demonstration fleets, management vehicles and trade-ins from Performance Motors and Vantage Automotive. With access to the substantial pool of vehicles from Sime Motors Singapore's various businesses, along with the company's vast experience in the industry, EV NEXT is able to offer a curated selection of worry-free used EVs. It cherry-picks EVs that are typically no more than three years old, and of pristine condition. Additionally, through its new Drivecare facility, a dedicated one-stop, multi-franchise aftersales brand, EV NEXT is able to refurbish and spruce up its inventory in-house before vehicles are put up for sale, ensuring tight quality control and thus, absolute peace of mind for customers. Drivecare will also serve as the dedicated aftersales workshop for EV NEXT. With a team of trained technicians, and shared expertise from PML and VAL, whose technicians are equipped to work on high-voltage batteries and systems, EV NEXT's customers will be well-supported for the rest of their ownership journey. Making your used EV shopping journey in Singapore easier and transparent For a used EV, battery health is just as important as mileage is for a conventional used car - not only does it affect the ownership experience, but it is also a great marker to determine the condition of an EV. Without proper testing to determine the battery's health, it is difficult to make an informed decision when shopping for a used EV. EV NEXT resolves this by testing and certifying battery health, establishing greater transparency and inspiring more buying confidence. Each customer will receive an in-house SOH certificate that includes important information such as mileage verification, accident-free certification, and the vehicle’s battery SOH, which is graded as Excellent (above 85%) or Pristine (above 90%). If you're shopping for a used electric vehicle in Singapore, EV NEXT offers greater transparency through battery health certification, comprehensive inspections, and the backing of Sime Motors Singapore, helping you to purchase with greater confidence.
