About Us
Battery Health is the #1 concern of used EV buyers. vsNEW answers the 3 critical questions about battery health:
- What is the current range?
- Are there any indications of physical damage?
- What is the risk of premature failure?
Used EVs are critical to the future of the auto industry. If used EV buyers cannot differentiate a good and bad battery, they will not have the confidence to buy, resulting in lower values for used EVs, and lower residual values for new EVs. This leads to higher costs of new EV ownership, and delays EV adoption.
Our goal is to provide transparency to dealers, buyers, and sellers of EVs, building confidence in the marketplace, and facilitating transactions.
Team
Our team has over 25 years of experience building diagnostic and vehicle data tools for the automotive industry - from hardware design and firmware development to ECU reverse engineering and manufacturing at scale. We have worked with OEMs, auctions, and franchised and independent dealerships - and bought our share of EV and hybrid vehicles along the way.
Partners and Supporters
We joined Urban-X, supported by Mini, in September 2024, and ChargeUp, supported by New Energy New York and the National Science Foundation, in April 2025. vsNEW is also supported by Newlab, Nvidia Inception, and AWS Activate.
Sustainability
Transportation is largest piece of your personal carbon footprint (more than your home, food, or the goods and services you purchase).
To reduce your impact, walk, bike, use public transportation, and use ride sharing. However, if you need a car, here are your options, from most to least sustainable
1) Buy a used EV or hybrid vehicle
2) Buy a new EV or hybrid vehicle
3) Buy a used ICE vehicle
4) Buy a new ICE vehicle
Our goal is to help you buy reliable and well running used EV and hybrid vehicles to help you meet your own personal sustainability goals.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – it’s a mantra from Kindergarten, but it’s not just for the classroom.
