Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans she has to mandate disclosure of battery health at the point of sale for used electric vehicles.

Some organisations already provide their own battery health checks or guarantees to increase consumer confidence.

We will continue to engage industry on this topic, including through the consultation on updating the minimum emission standards for new road vehicles to Euro 7, launched on 13 April 2026. This includes proposals to require manufacturers to fit new EVs with accurate, accessible and comparable battery health monitors.
