    I respect the first part, but it seems like a niche audience that would care about materials sourcing. The battery health history is interesting. Service logs are one thing, but real data to show how hard it’s been charged and driven is cool.

        You can do this already with https://recurrentauto.com at least with showing battery health. It also tracks my state of charge and you can tell that I just got done with a long trip where I used the whole battery 100-10 as opposed to my normal 80-30%

        I’ll value a used car using recurrent more than one without

          Like all BMS track this data. Every EV has a BMS. Most apps let you access this data. It’s up to the EV maker to block this data from EV owners.

          This is a great step in the right direction but doesn’t change the beauty of buying used EVs vs ICE. App on phone and OBD scanner. Don’t need a mechanic inspection.

      Where does the data go? Will we be required by law to have/keep our cars connected to the internet so that they may phone home?
