Find my EV
About us

We got tired of watching people buy the wrong EV

EVFinder is a free electric-vehicle buying service for Australians, run by the team behind evdepot.au.

Why we exist

We run a used-EV dealership. That means we spend our days looking at second-hand electric cars, testing their batteries, and talking to people who are about to spend thirty or forty thousand dollars on something they do not fully understand yet.

The same mistakes came up again and again. People buying enormous range they never use and paying for it. People buying a car that does not suit their parking situation. And, most often, people buying a used EV without anybody having checked the condition of the battery — the one component that determines what the car is actually worth.

EVFinder is the conversation we kept having, offered to everyone, before they spend the money instead of after.

What a specialist does for you

  • Works out how much range you actually need
  • Tells you what each car really does on a charge, now
  • Reaches trade and ex-fleet cars before they are listed
  • Explains the running costs for your tariff and driving
  • Handles the negotiation, and tells you when to walk away
How we work

Three things we hold to

Real range, not brochure range

Nobody worries about a percentage. They worry about getting to work all week. We measure what the battery has left, then tell you what that means in kilometres for the way you actually drive.

The whole market, not one yard

Trade-network stock before it is advertised, ex-fleet and ex-novated-lease EVs coming off contract, and everything publicly listed. The access is the point — otherwise you may as well browse a dealership site.

We'll tell you when to walk away

Sometimes the honest answer is that an EV does not suit your situation yet, or that the car you found is not worth the money. We would rather say so than make a sale.

Being straight with you

How we get paid, and who we are connected to

EVFinder is free for you to use. We are paid by the seller or the finance provider when a purchase goes ahead. You are never charged for the search, the advice or the negotiation, and you are never obliged to buy anything.

EVFinder and EV Depot are related businesses under common ownership. EV Depot is Australia's first used-EV-only dealership, and every car it lists has had its battery tested first. That is why it is the first place we look. It also means that if we recommend one of their cars, we have a commercial interest in that sale — we would rather tell you that plainly than have you find out later.

If nothing at EV Depot suits you, we will look elsewhere, and we will say so if the better car is somewhere else.

Let's find the EV that actually suits you

Two questions about your driving is all it takes to start. Free, no obligation, and a real EV specialist on the other end.
