Recurrent, a Seattle-based startup, aims to do for electric vehicle batteries what odometers do for fuel-powered cars: show the wear and tear on the battery and its future value.
Recurrent uses no hardware, just the software that runs on thousands of electric vehicles daily. It can analyze a car over and over again, normalizing things like weather, driving and charging style in order to compare two similar vehicles and show which has a stronger battery, and consequently a higher value.
EV owners can connect to Recurrent via methods like OnStar or a Tesla account. Dealerships can also use Recurrent to show comparisons to buyers, potentially driving up the sales price for cars with stronger batteries.

Based on used car prices, people equate a 5 year old EV battery, regardless of mileage, as highly suspect. With good reason, as every other battery you deal with in real life is highly suspect after 5 years of use or less.
