A recent comment asking what to look for when buying a second-hand Hyundai IONIQ Electric inspired this video...

I talk about what we did to make sure the main traction, high voltage battery was OK in the November 2016 model, used IONIQ we bought here in the UK back in January 2018.

I mention some apps that show details not displayed inside electric cars or communicated by Hyundai, in the case of the IONIQ (and, I believe, the KONA Electric). I ask for your ideas about indicators of battery health out there, and what might be useful generally to buyers of second hand EVs.
