VIN Decoding & Market Data
Understand how OnlyEV standardizes vehicle data and pricing insights.
Automated VIN Enrichment
When a seller lists a vehicle, they only need to provide the VIN. Our backend systems automatically decode the VIN to pull the exact Make, Model, Trim, Battery Capacity, and standard feature list. This ensures that every listing in your feed is highly accurate and standardized.
Market Pricing Insights
To help you make competitive offers, OnlyEV provides real-time market insights on every vehicle detail page. This includes:
- Wholesale Value Estimates: Aggregated from recent auction data for similar EV models.
- Retail Value Estimates: The projected retail price based on current local dealership listings.
- Days on Market (DOM): The average time it takes a similar EV to sell in the retail market.
EV-Specific Insights
Because we specialize in EVs, our decoding goes beyond standard databases. We track EV-specific metrics such as estimated battery degradation, fast-charging compatibility, and whether the vehicle qualifies for the federal Used EV Tax Credit.
