The smarter way to sell your EV.

If you have typed sell my electric car into a search box, you have probably already met the problem. The general car buyers will take your car, but they price it off the odometer and an assumption about the battery, then take a discount to cover themselves, and that discount comes out of your pocket. We buy electric cars, plug in hybrids and hybrids and nothing else, so the battery is not a mystery to the person standing in front of it.

Here is how it goes. You tell us about the car in the form above: rego, kilometres, condition, about a minute. A buyer rings you back with a real price range, not a call centre. Then an inspector comes to your home or your work, anywhere in Australia and most often somewhere in Victoria, reads the battery state of health at the car, looks over the body, the tyres and the service record, and counts the charging gear that is coming with it: the lead, the wall box, the adaptors. The offer is made there, at the car, and it is firm.

Say yes and the contract of sale and the transfer paperwork are signed on your phone, and you are paid by bank transfer the same day. If there is finance on the car, or it is on a novated lease through work, we get the payout figure from the financier and pay it directly, and if the payout is more than the car is worth you have that shortfall in writing before you sign anything. Nobody has to find the money first and wait to be paid back.

It does not matter which electric car it is. A Tesla is the one we are asked about most, and there is a page for every Tesla, BYD, MG, Hyundai, Kia and Polestar we buy, each carrying the same form with the car already chosen. A hybrid or a plug in hybrid belongs here too. If you want the process in more detail, how it works has the four steps and why us has what is behind the number. Or skip all of that, fill in the form, and sell your electric car to someone who wanted it in the first place.
