One certificate. Value for every institution.
RISIQ certifies EV batteries on behalf of the institutions that carry the risk: banks and micro-finance lenders financing the cars their customers drive, insurers covering the cars they've underwritten, and the government agencies responsible for what's imported and what stays on the road. Pick your role below.
International benchmark: certified EVs sell up to 36% faster, and 57% of buyers say an independent battery report would make them consider a used EV (AVILOO / CARA-Europe market data).
Price the risk you're already carrying.
You're underwriting the cars you insure without ever seeing the battery inside them. Today there's no way to price that risk at policy issue or at claims — so policies become guesses, and mispriced risk and fraud slip straight through.
- Price battery risk accurately at underwriting and at claims.
- Launch new EV insurance and battery-warranty products.
- Cut claims disputes and battery-related fraud.
Why this changes underwriting
A signed, independently measured SoH figure — not a self-reported BMS number — gives your actuaries a real variable to underwrite against, on the exact locked, imported EVs your policyholders already drive.
Lend against an asset you can finally value.
You've lent against the cars your customers drive for five-year terms — against a battery that can lose half its value in two. Unpriceable collateral makes financing the #1 barrier to EV adoption.
- Value the asset at origination and at resale.
- Size loans and residual values with confidence.
- De-risk EV lending at scale, not deal by deal.
Why this changes lending
A grade and a measured usable capacity at loan origination — and again at resale — turns the battery from an unknown into collateral you can actually model residuals against.
Sell faster, at a premium, with proof.
Grey-market imports, no OEM service centres, no proof of health. Buyers hesitate, disputes follow, and good used EVs sit unsold.
- Intake QC — know exactly what you're bringing in.
- Warranty analytics across your whole intake.
- Sell faster, at a premium, with buyer trust built in.
- Every certificate gets a permanent link — embed it straight in an online listing.
Why this changes sales
A QR-verified certificate, handed to the buyer at the point of sale, replaces "trust me" with a public record they can scan and check in under 2 seconds.
Screen every battery before it enters the market.
Thousands of EVs cross the border every year under the import ban's replacement flow — and there's no independent way to confirm the pack inside a "new" import is actually new, undamaged and stable before it reaches a showroom or a buyer.
- Verify battery stability and health on new imports at the point of entry.
- Catch damaged or degraded packs sold as "new" before they reach an Ethiopian buyer.
- An independent, manufacturer-agnostic import-screening standard.
Why this changes import screening
Every imported EV battery arrives locked and unreadable by any single manufacturer's tool. A socket-side measurement works on any brand, at the importer's yard, before the vehicle is registered and sold.
Know which batteries are still fit for the road.
An EV has no engine to inspect, but nobody currently checks the part that actually degrades. An annual battery-health check lets the state confirm a car's battery is still safe and roadworthy before licensing it for another year.
- An annual battery-health check tied to roadworthiness and re-licensing.
- Flag severely degraded or unsafe packs before they become a breakdown or fire risk.
- A national fitness record for every EV's battery, not just its mileage.
Why this changes road safety
A yearly, independent SoH reading turns battery fitness into a renewable licensing condition — the same way a roadworthiness or emissions check works for a combustion car, adapted for the one part of an EV that actually fails.
Simple to adopt — no capex, no training burden.
We deploy & maintain
RISIQ installs and services the certification rig at your site. Nothing to buy, no manufacturer tools to license.
You certify on demand
Your existing team runs a test in minutes and issues a certificate — no battery specialists needed.
Pay as you certify
A modest per-certificate fee plus a simple rig subscription — billed locally, in birr, via Telebirr.
The rig pays for itself quickly. From there, the certificate is almost pure trust — and pure margin — shared with the partners who move first.
A certifier this small should not have this engine room.
RISIQ is a young company measuring batteries in Addis Ababa. The energy engineering behind those measurements is not young at all — it comes through an active, contractual technology partnership with Eniris, one of Europe's leading energy-management-system providers.
Eniris is headquartered in Belgium with operations across the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden and Germany. Its SmartgridOne platform manages energy assets across more than 150,000 installations through 500+ vendor-independent hardware integrations — precisely the discipline of reading real power from equipment nobody controls, which is the whole problem a locked EV import presents.
RISIQ's founder held an executive position at Eniris before returning to Addis Ababa to build RISIQ. The partnership that grew out of that is contractual and current — not a logo on a slide.
The RISIQ Tech × Eniris partnership mark
The split is deliberate — and it stays that way.
Eniris does not certify Ethiopian batteries and RISIQ does not build an EMS. What crosses between them is engineering practice: the platform patterns for ingesting device telemetry at scale, and the operational discipline that keeps 150,000 installations reporting.
Addis Ababa
RISIQ builds and owns
- The certification rig — revenue-grade metering, edge compute, charge control, firmware.
- The State-of-Health method: energy integration, charger-loss correction, window extrapolation.
- Every quality gate a run must clear before it can become a certificate.
- Certificate signing, the public verification registry and the QR endpoint.
- The Ethiopian reference dataset — the models, climate and duty cycles that exist here and nowhere in Europe.
Belgium
Eniris brings
- SmartgridOne — a production EMS platform running across 150,000+ installations.
- 500+ vendor-independent hardware integrations, and the method for building the next one.
- Device management and telemetry ingestion patterns proven at national grid scale.
- European energy-engineering practice: calibration, measurement discipline, operational review.
Why a lender should care who RISIQ's engineers learned from.
The measurement is not experimental
Reading true delivered energy from third-party hardware is a solved European problem, carried out daily under production load. RISIQ applies that practice to a new asset class — it is not inventing metrology in a workshop in Addis.
The platform already scales
A certificate is worth nothing if the registry behind it goes dark. RISIQ's ingestion and device-management design follows patterns already carrying 150,000 installations, so the registry a bank underwrites against is built to keep answering.
The independence is structural
Eniris has no stake in what any Ethiopian battery measures. Neither does any importer, bank or insurer. The certificate stays independent because nobody in the loop profits from a particular number.
Let's run a 90-day certification pilot in Addis.
Access to vehicles and a charging site, or a certificate-backed product, or recognition as a trust standard — whichever track fits your role.
