EV Auto Battery Health Test: $99 Report vs. $349 Service Visit

If you need a documented battery-health number before buying or selling an EV, EV Auto’s US service menu lists a $99 standalone battery health report. The company describes that report as a state-of-health and degradation report. Its $349 Preferred visit includes the same battery health report plus a charging-system test, brake-caliper service, coolant top-off, software-update check, and loaner vehicle. Those are provider prices for EV Auto’s Bountiful and Lehi, Utah, and Brentwood, Tennessee service operation, not a national installed-price average. EV Auto’s service pricing shows the location choices and the full package scope.

EV Auto option	Published price	What is included
Battery health report	$99	Standalone SoH and degradation report
Essential visit	$199	50-point inspection, OBD-II scan, brake-fluid test and other routine checks; no battery report listed
Preferred visit	$349	Essential scope plus battery health report, AC/DC charging test, brake-caliper service, coolant top-off, software check and loaner
Elite visit	$599	Preferred scope plus cell-level battery-module diagnostic and drive-unit inspection

The price difference between the standalone report and Preferred is $349 - $99 = $250, but that $250 buys the additional visit work listed above; it is not a $250 battery-testing fee. EV Auto says its prices are starting rates, exclude tax, and bill parts separately unless noted. Confirm the vehicle, any findings, and the final written scope before booking.

Which test answers your question?

A standalone report fits a buyer who needs a battery-health document and already has another inspection plan. Preferred fits an owner who wants battery information alongside charging and brake checks. Elite is a different diagnostic tier: the menu specifically adds cell-level voltage-balance work. Do not treat a $99 report as equivalent to a module diagnostic.

NIST’s US consumer-valuation research explains why this distinction matters. It describes state of health and remaining useful life as information gaps in used-BEV transactions, and notes that capacity, range, and charging behavior can change as batteries age. NIST’s used-EV battery-health research is background, not a price list or a warranty test.

Before paying, ask what data appears in the report, whether the reading is a BMS scan or a separate capacity procedure, and whether the provider records the VIN, odometer, and test date. A report documents the vehicle at that visit; it does not promise future range or warranty eligibility. If you are outside EV Auto’s listed service centers, use the $99 and $349 figures as clearly attributed scope references and obtain a local US quote with the same fields.
