Drive Green, used electric vehicle specialist in Emborough

Battery health checks and transparent pricing

The company puts every vehicle through an independent traction battery health check before sale, carried out with a MOBA diagnostic, and provides the corresponding certificate. It states that most of its stock has between 92% and 100% battery health, and when the figure is lower it publishes it and adjusts the price accordingly. The company states that it does not charge admin fees or documentation or preparation charges, and that the advertised price is the final price. It also states that it does not use pressure selling.

Used electric vehicle catalogue

The site shows an inventory of 104 used electric vehicles, with examples of models such as Peugeot E-208, Volkswagen e-up!, MG MG5, Volvo C40 Recharge, MINI Electric, Volkswagen ID.4, Audi e-tron, Nissan Leaf, MG MG4, MG ZS, Jaguar I-PACE, Kia Niro and Vauxhall Corsa Electric, among others. Listings include details such as mileage, range, battery capacity, year, price and monthly finance payment. The company also sells electric vans through a separate van centre in Hallatrow.
