About Akkubrief

Who is behind Akkubrief

Akkubrief is independent by design: we do not sell cars and we belong to no manufacturer. We estimate battery health from your car's real charging and driving history, traceably and with an open methodology. And we say plainly what such an estimate can and cannot do.

A name instead of a façade

Deliberately a one-person project

Behind Akkubrief is Georg Wächter. Instead of a team collage and stock-photo office you'll find a name, a face and a methodology anyone can read.

The idea came from my own car: a classic battery test meant ordering a box by post, running the car from 100% down to 10% within a week and shipping the device back, all for €118. Yet the charging data an EV records anyway tells the same story. That observation became Akkubrief: the battery history without hardware, verifiable by any buyer in the browser.

How we calculate — the methodologyImprint & provider identification
Verifiable, not asserted

How you can hold us to account

Instead of badges, we give you things you can check yourself. Three of them:

Open methodology

Every formula, every threshold and every change is publicly documented, with a versioned changelog. You do not have to take our word for it: you can read it.

Read the methodology

Preregistered study

Before we advertise accuracy, we validate: with open outcomes and an external timestamp on OSF (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/FAJBU).

Study protocol

Verifiable certificates

Every certificate is cryptographically signed and verifiable in the browser, with no account and no app. Try it on the sample.

What Akkubrief is and what it is not

This is Akkubrief

An independent assessment based on your car's real charging and driving history
A history over weeks and months instead of a single snapshot
A signed, VIN-bound document anyone can verify in the browser
Free in everyday use — you only pay for the certificate when you need it

This is not Akkubrief

Not an expert report and no measurement of individual cells
No statement on mechanics, accident history or electrical safety
No promise about the battery's future: we show the history up to today
No substitute for a test drive and a look at the rest of the car
Not affiliated with Tesla, Inc.We do not sell carsNo commission from dealersPaid only by you: €79 per certificate
