This is one of the biggest differences between EV Finder and visiting a traditional dealership.
A dealership naturally wants to sell you something from its own stock.
EV Finder searches much further.
Our team can look at vehicles across the market, including cars that may not even have been publicly advertised yet.
And if the best EV for you is somewhere else, that's the vehicle we'll tell you about.
EV Finder and EV Depot are related businesses under common ownership, and we're completely transparent about that relationship. EV Depot is one of the places we can source vehicles from — not the only one.
Battery health comes first
When you're buying a used petrol car, you probably want to know about the engine.
When you're buying a used EV, you should want to know about the battery.
Battery condition can affect a used EV's real-world driving range, performance and ultimately its value.
That's why battery health is a fundamental part of the EV Finder standard.
The vehicles we put forward are battery tested, so we can help you understand the battery's remaining capacity and what that means for the vehicle's real-world range today — rather than simply relying on the range the manufacturer advertised when the vehicle was brand new.
More than just battery testing
Every vehicle presented through EV Finder must meet three key standards:
✓ Battery tested We want to know the condition of the battery and what that translates to in usable range.
✓ 120-point safety check Vehicles undergo a comprehensive mechanical and safety inspection before reaching you.
✓ Warranty coverage The vehicle is backed by warranty, giving you additional confidence after you drive away.
If a vehicle can't meet the EV Finder standard, it doesn't make your shortlist.
How does EV Finder work?
We've deliberately made the process simple.
1. Tell us what you're looking for
You can tell us which EVs you're considering, where you'll normally charge and approximately how much you'd like to spend.
And don't worry if you have absolutely no idea which EV you want — helping you work that out is part of the service.
2. We search
An EV specialist searches the market for vehicles that match your needs and budget.
3. We shortlist the right cars
Instead of scrolling through hundreds of advertisements, you get a shortlist of actual vehicles worth considering — with the important information you need to make a decision.
