Why should I sell my EV through webuyanycar?
-
30-second valuation
You can get an online valuation in less than 30 seconds by entering your registration plate, mileage and a few personal details. It’s never been easier to get a valuation for your electric car.
-
Avoid the hassle of a private sale
Selling your electric car privately can be extremely time consuming, with the hassle of having to prepare the car for resale, advertising the car for sale, arranging appointments with prospective buyers and potentially dealing with time-wasters. You can avoid this hassle by selling through ourselves thanks to our simple three-step selling process.
-
We will settle any outstanding finance
Our recent survey of over 3,000 motorists found that just over 1 in 4 didn’t know they could sell a car with outstanding finance. If you want to sell a car with finance, all we need is an up-to-date settlement figure and your agreement reference number. If you are in positive equity, we will simply pay off the remaining balance and pay the rest into your bank account.

4-day price guarantee
We offer a 4-day price guarantee on all our valuations, meaning you can have the flexibility to book an appointment at a time that fits your lifestyle. Our price guarantee also protects you from market fluctuations, so if the market demand for your car drops, we will still honour the price offered.
When is a good time to sell my electric car?
It may seem a strange time to sell an electric car with the government incentives to buy zero-emission vehicles. However, the demand for EVs is only increasing, meaning it could be a great time to sell and receive a good return on your car.
In addition, electric car technology is constantly improving, with manufacturers investing heavily in improving their batteries, performance and quality to win customers in an increasingly competitive market. As such, you may be looking to improve to an EV that has a better range than what was available when you made the switch to electric, or perhaps your battery performance isn’t as good as it was when you first purchased the car.
Whilst electric car ownership is growing in the UK, there are still some concerns from motorists to make the switch to electric from a combustion engine. We surveyed over 3,000 motorists and asked them to choose each of their biggest concerns on buying an electric car from a multiple choice list:
| No. | Concern | % of motorists |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The range they can travel | 71.7% |
| 2 | The purchase price | 64.1% |
| 3 | Charging point availability | 61.6% |
| 4 | The charging time | 48% |
| 5 | The battery life | 43.5% |
| 6 | The cost of repairs | 23% |
| 7 | The cost of insurance | 8.7% |
| 8 | The driving experience | 6.5% |
