Compare the batteries of two to four electric cars

Two cars at the same price don’t have the same battery. Pick up to four models: capacity, manufacturer warranty, new pack price and charging cost appear side by side.

Choose the models

Up to four models. The comparison has its own address, which you can keep or send.

Compare by class

Every model in the same class in one table, to sort by capacity, warranty or charging cost.

What the tool puts side by side

The tool looks at one thing only, the battery, because it makes the value of a used electric car and the advert says almost nothing about it. For each model: the capacities sold under that name, the chemistry, the manufacturer’s warranty terms, what a module or a new pack costs, the official consumption and the cost of charging at home.

It compares neither boot space, nor equipment, nor car prices: others do that very well. And whatever has not been recorded at the source shows as “not recorded”, never as an assumed value.

A table compares models; you buy a car. Capacity depends on the version, the warranty on the date of first registration. Once you have chosen a model, the checker answers for one specific car.
