Renault battery scanner hire
DIY battery health scanning
Many are worried about their EV battery life. The reality is that for the majority of EVs, the battery degrades about only 1% per year or around 3% per year in Nissan Leaf and ENV200 vehicles. If you have a Renault Zoe or Renault Kangoo EV with a leased battery pack, you get a battery health guarantee and its RCI's responsibility to repair or replace the back once the battery has dropped below that threshold (which is normally 75% SoH on the Zoe & Kangoo 33kWh, but only 60% on the Kangoo 22kWh). Or maybe you're considering buying the battery and doing away with the lease, but want to know if your pack is worth buying? The trouble is, how do you know what the health of your battery is? If you ask your local Renault dealer, they will want a diagnostic fee which is typically £180-£260. Plus you'll loose your car for a day. Or you can do it yourself with the CanZE phone app, but this also requires a bluetooth dongle and an Android phone and if you're not too techie, you can waste hours with trying to get this to work or have trouble buying the correct compatible dongle.

Battery scanner hire
This service is only available to owners of...
Renault Zoe 22kWh
Renault Zoe 41kW
Renault Kangoo ZE 22kWh
Renault Kangoo ZE 33kWh
Unfortunately the scanner we hire out will not work on the Renault Zoe ZE50 (52kWh).
How it works?
We send you a diagnostic scanner and provide simple video instructions on how to use it and read the battery state of health on your Renault EV.
Once you've done this, you package the scanner back up and then we arrange collection by courier, or if easier for you, drop it off at the courier's local drop off points.
You pay a fixed fee of £106 including VAT, which is payable by bank transfer before delivery. You can only keep the scanner for up to 5 days. You will need a printer to print the return label.
We also provide you with the information as to what to do next if your battery pack health is low.
Here's what customers have said...
Renault Zoe ZE50 owner...
"I bought a used electric car from Cazoo and wanted to have the battery health checked independently during the 7 day return window. After having difficulty in finding somewhere locally that was able to do this in the time frame, I was so pleased to find out that I was able to do this myself by hiring a diagnostic scanner from Go Green Autos. Communication with Matt was excellent and the instruction video was very clear. The scanner arrived quickly and I was able to easily check the battery SoH. Thank you Matt for the excellent service!"
Renault Zoe ZE22 owner...
"Go Green Autos helped us identify an issue with the battery of our 2014 Renault Zoe. The service was quick and easy to use. If you are ever in doubt about your battery capacity I recommend their testing kit service. We can now have a meaningful conversation with the dealers."
Renault Kangoo ZE22 owner...
"Matt help me with all my questions. I have bought a kangoo ze and he send me the battery health tester. He has been helping me with other questions not related to the tester as well. Highly recommended."
