| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the fully charged show podcast where today we're delving into the world of battery health. |
| 0:14.8 | Now we know that this is an absolutely vital component of the EV ecosystem, ensuring that drivers can confidently purchase a second-hand |
| 0:22.4 | EV knowing precisely what kind of range reality they're buying into. And you know, here in the UK, |
| 0:28.1 | 80% of car purchases are in the second-hand market. So if we want EVs to be truly mainstream, |
| 0:33.6 | that battery health data absolutely needs to be extremely clearly available so we can extend |
| 0:38.3 | the secondhand life of those electric vehicles and address affordability at the same time too. |
| 0:44.4 | So very shortly, I'm going to be joined by Patrick Creswell, who is the co-founder and managing |
