What vsNew does

vsNew (legal name vsNEW) is a Brooklyn, NY-based private company founded in 2021 that operates a battery-health diagnostic platform for used electric and hybrid vehicles. The system combines a proprietary hardware data-collection device with a companion iOS/Android application and a cloud-based analysis engine. Reports covering current range, physical damage indicators, and premature-failure risk are delivered in roughly 2 minutes and support more than 95% of EVs and hybrids on the road, with new models added weekly across brands including Tesla, Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, BMW, and others. The company's diagnostic methodology is covered by patents pending.

vsNew monetizes primarily through a product-led go-to-market motion: a $399 one-time trial package of 5 reports plus hardware, sold self-serve via vsnew.com and the app stores, with custom multi-year enterprise pricing for high-volume dealers. The primary customer segment is used EV/hybrid dealerships, with a secondary persona of individual used-EV buyers and an additional adjacent segment in auto service centers. Distribution combines self-serve e-commerce with field sales at major dealer trade shows (NADA 2025 and 2026, Move America 2025, Used Car Summit 2026). The company claims hundreds of dealers across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia are using vsNew, with reported dealer outcomes of 35% faster sales and over $1,100 in price premium per vehicle, and 95% of surveyed used-EV buyers rating a vsNew report as critical or impactful to purchase decisions.

The company's resources beyond its hardware/software stack include strategic positioning: earned media coverage in Consumer Reports and Jalopnik, partnership alignment with CARA Battery Health (Europe) on industry standards, and an in-development /insurance vertical use case for battery health data. No disclosed revenue, funding, ownership, management, or headcount figures beyond a 1-10 employee range are available, and incorporation jurisdiction is not explicitly stated (though products are designed and manufactured in the USA).

Direct peers

• Recurrent: US-based Recurrent produces independent EV battery health reports for consumers and dealers, with a comparable score-based output and a similar dealer-and-buyer go-to-market. It is the most direct head-to-head competitor to vsNEW in the North American used EV battery report market.
• AVILOO: Austria-based AVILOO offers independent EV battery diagnostics with a certified test and a public scoring system, targeting both dealers and private buyers in Europe. The product positioning, certified report output, and dealer channel closely parallel vsNEW's.
• CARA Battery Health: CARA's Battery Health initiative standardizes EV battery health certification for the European automotive aftermarket and is already listed alongside vsNEW on vsNEW's website. The two are direct peers in battery health certification, with overlapping standards and dealer audiences.

Emerging players

• P3 Group: P3 Group is an engineering services firm with a dedicated EV battery testing and diagnostics practice serving OEMs and fleet operators. It overlaps with vsNEW on battery health assessment but competes primarily via enterprise consulting and OEM relationships rather than dealer self-serve.
• DEKRA: DEKRA is a global testing, inspection and certification organization with established vehicle inspection services, including growing EV battery diagnostics offerings. It overlaps with vsNEW on third-party vehicle assessment but operates at a much larger, multi-service scale.

Broad incumbents

• Geotab: Geotab is a large fleet telematics provider that has expanded into EV battery health monitoring for fleet customers. It overlaps with vsNEW on battery state-of-health reporting but serves fleets and enterprise buyers through a broad telematics platform rather than dealer point-of-sale.
• Cox Automotive: Cox Automotive owns Manheim, Kelley Blue Book, and Autotrader and is a major provider of used vehicle inspection and remarketing services. It is a broad incumbent that could integrate EV battery health into its dealer and auction workflow, directly competing with vsNEW if it chooses to enter.
• CarMax: CarMax is the largest US used car retailer and has begun expanding its EV inventory and reconditioning capabilities. As a broad incumbent in used vehicle retail, it could either build internal battery health diagnostics or become a major channel partner/competitor for vsNEW at scale.

Others

• Spiers New Technologies: Spiers is a specialist in EV battery repair, remanufacturing, and diagnostics for OEMs and dealers. It is adjacent to vsNEW in the EV battery ecosystem, focused on repair/recondition rather than pre-sale certification, but competes for dealer mindshare on battery services.
• TÜV SÜD: TÜV SÜD provides automotive testing and certification services, including EV battery testing programs for OEMs and dealers. It is an adjacent testing-services incumbent that could expand into dealer-facing battery health reports comparable to vsNEW's.
