When shopping for a used electric vehicle, a customer’s first question often concerns the battery.

Carnex now has the answer. The Toronto-based e-commerce platform specializing in used EVs has partnered with EV battery diagnostics provider Lyteflo to conduct professional scans on its inventory.

In a news release, Carnex said it’s the first Canadian dealership to display verified battery health reports directly on its vehicle listings, “addressing the primary barrier to used EV adoption.”

Each verified vehicle displays a battery health badge showing exact capacity retention, designed to give buyers “comparable, trustworthy data.”

Carnex’s listings include state of health percentage, usable capacity and cell health verification on every applicable vehicle in its inventory. The dealership said that gives Canadian buyers the access they’ve previously lacked to reliable condition data before purchase on the battery pack, which represents 30-50% of an EV’s total value.

“The used EV market has an information problem,” Carnex founder Bruce Wu said. “Buyers either overpay for vehicles with degraded batteries or avoid used EVs entirely because they can’t assess the risk. We’re fixing that with professional diagnostics on every vehicle we sell.”

With Canada’s federal EV incentives reinstated beginning last month, consumer interest in EVs is reviving as well, according to AutoTrader vice president of insights and intelligence Baris Akyurek. Carnex cited data from Statistics Canada showing electric vehicle registrations rose 47% year-over-year in 2025 and said the used EV segment is growing faster as early adopters trade up to newer models.

“Transparency benefits the entire ecosystem,” Wu said. “Quality vehicles command fair prices, buyers shop with confidence, and more Canadians can make the switch to electric.”
