EV Solutions

As Europe accelerates its transition to electric mobility, InterCar provides comprehensive EV solutions spanning the entire lifecycle: sourcing and procurement of new and pre-owned electric vehicles, battery state-of-health diagnostics, charging infrastructure consultancy, and certified end-of-life battery processing. The shift from internal combustion to electric powertrains represents the most significant transformation in automotive history, and InterCar is at the forefront of enabling this transition for businesses and individuals across Europe. Our EV division employs specialists with deep expertise in lithium-ion battery chemistry, high-voltage vehicle architecture, charging standards (CCS, CHAdeMO, Type 2), and the regulatory landscape governing EV batteries from production through second life to final recycling. We work with all major EV manufacturers — Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Renault, Peugeot, and others — providing brand-agnostic solutions that serve the entire market rather than locking clients into a single ecosystem.

Our EV specialists are trained in high-voltage systems and hold all necessary certifications for safe handling of lithium-ion batteries. Whether you need to assess the remaining capacity of an EV battery, explore second-life battery applications, or safely recycle an end-of-life battery pack, InterCar has the expertise and infrastructure. Battery state-of-health diagnostics are increasingly critical as the pre-owned EV market grows — buyers need confidence in remaining battery capacity, while sellers want to demonstrate value. Our diagnostic service uses manufacturer-grade testing equipment to measure individual cell voltages, internal resistance, capacity degradation, thermal management performance, and charging behaviour under load. The resulting report provides a clear percentage of remaining capacity, projected degradation timeline, and comparison against manufacturer warranty thresholds. This data is invaluable for insurance valuations, warranty claims, pre-purchase inspections, and fleet management decisions. For batteries that have degraded below the threshold for automotive use — typically around 70-80 percent of original capacity — we facilitate second-life applications in stationary energy storage, where reduced capacity is perfectly adequate for grid balancing, solar energy buffering, and commercial peak-shaving applications.

For businesses transitioning to electric fleets, we offer end-to-end consultancy: fleet electrification planning, charging infrastructure design, TCO modelling, and ongoing maintenance and battery management. Our goal is to make the transition to electric mobility as smooth and cost-effective as possible. Fleet electrification is a complex undertaking that requires careful analysis of duty cycles, daily mileage patterns, depot dwell times, route profiles, and energy costs to identify which vehicles in a fleet are suitable for immediate electrification and which require a phased approach. InterCar's fleet consultants build detailed models that compare the total cost of ownership of electric versus diesel or petrol vehicles over three, five, and seven-year horizons, factoring in purchase price or lease cost, fuel versus electricity costs, maintenance savings, benefit-in-kind taxation, residual values, and available government incentives. We then design bespoke charging infrastructure solutions — from simple overnight AC charging at depot to rapid DC charging hubs for high-utilisation vehicles — ensuring that charging capacity matches operational requirements without over-investing in unnecessary infrastructure.
