How does battery State of Health (SoH) impact used EV resale prices?

Battery State of Health (SoH) measures remaining battery energy storage capacity relative to original factory specifications. A 100% SoH indicates a brand-new battery pack.

In the secondary EV market, buyers request official dealership OBD diagnostic reports confirming battery SoH before finalizing purchase offers.
