I’m letting go of my first electric car and getting ready to buy a new one. What is the best way to sell my old EV?

Selling an
electric car
is not much different from selling a traditional car. In both cases, it’s essential to establish a baseline value. The baseline will let you know what similar vehicles in your area are selling for. Some popular trade-in calculators like Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds can help you to find that.
Don’t forget to highlight and demonstrate a strong knowledge of the battery life and range left in your car. Unlike a legacy internal combustion engine, buyers will need to know this information.
Steps to selling your electric car
  • Use a trade-in calculator to determine the value
  • Check pricing trends
  • Get a one-time EV report
  • Clean your car
  • Update your maintenance
  • Collect your documents
  • List your car
