Before buying a used electric car, see its real range, its reliability and what it will really cost you.
“We ended up with fifteen tabs open just to understand the difference between a 41 kWh and a 52 kWh Zoe.”
A student in Belgium, who created Branché
THE PROBLEM
Information is everywhere. Answers, much less so.
Example: the Renault Zoe. The listing doesn't always say which one.
Example: Peugeot e-208 54 kWh. The official figure is a maximum, not a promise.
Recalls, known faults, years to avoid: all in one place.
Charging at home. We do the maths for your car.
Branché does the digging for you and sums it all up in one clear, honest report.
WHAT YOU GET
Example with a Peugeot e-208 54 kWh
On average, in summer and in winter. Based on real consumption, not the brochure figure.
Official recalls and faults reported by real owners. A software bug counts less than a battery or motor defect.
What the manufacturer covers, and what's left on the car in your listing.
A full charge at home, at your own electricity rate.
COVERAGE
Every battery size and every facelift has its own report, because a 22 kWh Zoe and a 52 kWh Zoe have nothing in common.
This model isn't covered yet. It's coming soon.
MADE IN BELGIUM
Not a translated foreign report. Everything is designed for buyers in Belgium.
Every report points to the Belgian certificate: history, mileage and recalls.
Charging costs start from €0.32 per kWh. Change it to match your contract.
Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent: an EV drives there with no restrictions at all.

FAQ
Ask the seller for a battery test, done by a brand garage or a specialist company. It gives the remaining capacity as a percentage. Our reports already give you an estimate based on age and mileage.
Usually yes: the warranty follows the car as long as it stays within the years and mileage covered. The manufacturer often requires servicing to have followed its schedule, so check the service book.
A Belgian document the seller must give you when selling a used car. It shows the history of recorded mileage, to catch tampered odometers, and any manufacturer recalls not yet carried out.
Yes, but the range drops. In freezing weather on the motorway, expect about 30% less than the year-round average. Every report shows you the range in summer and in winter.
