Used electric vehicles have a trust problem: battery state-of-health drives range, resale value, and buyer confidence, yet most buyers can't independently verify it.

Why this matters for deep tech: Battery state-of-health is the physical constraint under the entire used-EV and second-life market. Independent diagnostics are the deep-tech infrastructure that makes battery value verifiable — a hardware-and-data play, not a SaaS wrapper.

In this episode, we cover:

• Marcus Berger (CEO & partner, Aviloo), Austria's independent battery-diagnostics company
• Aviloo's flash test for battery state-of-health
• Why OEM battery data falls short for buyers
• The EU battery passport and what it changes
• US expansion and growth financing
• The future of used-EV certification
