How to Sell Your EV
Two distinct paths for private sellers to maximize their return.
At OnlyEV, we offer two primary ways for private individuals to sell their electric vehicles. You can either sell directly to our network of Verified Dealers for immediate payment, or list your car on our public marketplace to sell to another private party.
Method 1: Cash Offers from Dealers
If you'd rather not sell privately, you can request a cash offer. We automatically broadcast your vehicle's details to verified dealers who specialize in EVs.
- Step 1: Enter your VIN. We automatically pull the precise make, model, and battery specifications.
- Step 2: Condition Report. Provide an honest assessment of your vehicle's condition, including any damage or mechanical issues.
- Step 3: Receive Offers. Dealers will compete for your vehicle, and you will receive their highest binding offers directly in your dashboard.
- Step 4: Get Paid. Accept the best offer, schedule a drop-off or pickup, and receive secure payment.
Method 2: Private Marketplace Listing (Highest Profit)
If you want to maximize your return, you can create a public listing. This allows you to sell directly to other EV enthusiasts who are browsing the OnlyEV marketplace.
- Step 1: Create a Listing. Provide your VIN, upload high-quality photos, and write a compelling description.
- Step 2: Set Your Price. You control the asking price. We provide market data to help you price it competitively.
- Step 3: Negotiate. Use our secure on-platform messaging system to communicate with interested buyers.
- Step 4: Close the Deal. Arrange a safe meeting for a test drive and handle the payment and title transfer securely.
Need Help Deciding?
You don't have to choose right away! You can list your vehicle on the marketplace while also requesting cash offers from dealers. If a dealer makes an offer you can't refuse, you can always accept it and automatically take down your private listing.
