Problem this solves
Buyers do not know whether frequent fast charging is serious or what evidence to request.
Risk guide
How fast-charging history affects risk
Fast charging is not automatically bad, but high share, hot climate, cooling issues and high mileage together should raise the inspection level.
Job: viewing decision
For: pre-purchase review
Verify with diagnostics
Important boundary
This site only provides pre-purchase risk prompts. SOH, insulation, voltage delta, warranty and repair conclusions should be confirmed by manufacturer systems, professional reports, contracts and official explanations.
Onsite checks
Red flags to treat seriously
Questions to ask
Ask the seller or inspector this way
Anchor questions to verifiable records, diagnostic items and written commitments to reduce information gaps.
Can fast-charge and slow-charge counts be read?
Where was the car usually charged?
Has the cooling system been repaired or replaced?
Did fast charging ever trigger power limiting or fault warnings?

How much displayed range loss is abnormal?
Displayed range is not SOH, but it is one of the easiest onsite risk signals. Below 80% needs BMS review; below 70% should not be bought on a test drive alone.
Risk guideHow to read SOH and cell voltage delta
SOH reflects capacity-health trend; cell voltage delta reflects consistency risk. One number is not enough: review temperature, SOC, fault codes and test-drive behavior.
Risk guideHow to inspect battery pack impact
The battery pack sits underneath the car. Minor shield scrapes and structural battery-pack impact are very different risks. Lift the car and inspect edges, mounts, bolts, cooling pipes and high-voltage harnesses.
