Why EV owners sell to CARME

Built for selling an electric car.

Priced like an EV, not a gas car

Battery health, range and remaining battery warranty all go into your number — the things that actually decide what a used EV is worth.

No strangers, no range interrogations

Skip the listing, the “how far does it really go?” messages and the test drives. One offer, from one licensed buyer.

Paid on the spot, loan handled

Cheque, bank draft or e-transfer when you hand over the keys. Still financing it? We pay your lender directly and you get the difference.

We buy every major EV and plug-in hybrid, including

How it works

From plugged in to paid — in four steps.

You stay in control at every one of them.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your EV

    Your VIN, kilometres and a few quick questions about condition. About a minute.

  2. 02

    Reveal your cash offer

    A real number from live market data — not a range. Yours for up to 14 days while you decide.

  3. 03

    Say yes when you’re ready

    We confirm the details at a time that suits you and handle the paperwork, including any loan payout.

  4. 04

    Get paid on the spot

    Cheque, bank draft or e-transfer — then hand over the keys and the charging cable.

The handover

Keys in our hand. Payment in yours.

When you say yes, it all happens in one short visit — at a time that suits you.

  • We confirm the car matches what you told us.
  • You sign — we handle the ownership transfer and pay out any loan.
  • You’re paid on the spot by cheque, bank draft or e-transfer.
  • You hand over the keys, key cards and charging cable. Done.
Compare your options

Three ways to sell an EV.

A private sale can get you top dollar — if you’re ready to answer every battery and charging question yourself. Notice which option saves you the most time, stress and risk.

EV questions

Selling an electric car, answered.

Something else? Email us or read the full FAQ.

Do you buy Teslas?

Yes — Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X, along with every other major EV brand.

Do you buy EVs with high kilometres or battery wear?

Yes. Battery health and range are part of how we price your car, so an older or high-kilometre EV still gets a real offer.

Do you buy plug-in hybrids?

Yes — plug-in hybrids such as the Toyota RAV4 Prime, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Volvo Recharge models, as well as fully electric cars.

What should I do before I hand over my EV?

Unlink the car from your app account and delete any phone keys, factory-reset the touchscreen to clear your data, and gather the mobile charger, adapters and every key or key card. If you received a federal iZEV rebate, check the minimum ownership period in your purchase agreement first.

Is it a real offer or an estimate?

It’s a real offer, good for up to 14 days. When we meet, we check that the condition, history and kilometres match what you told us. If anything is different, we’ll explain any change before you decide.

Do I have to sell if I get an offer?

No. Getting an offer is free and there’s no obligation. Say yes, or walk away — no follow-up pressure. The decision is always yours.

I still owe money on my car. Can I still sell it?

Yes. We pay your lender directly and you get the difference. There’s a $299 lien payout fee, and lenders usually take 10–30 days to release the lien.

How do I get paid?

We pay you on the spot — by cheque, bank draft or e-transfer. Every deal is different, so we work with you to make it stress-free and at your convenience.

You’re one minute away from knowing what your EV is worth.

Free, no obligation — and the decision is always yours.

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Are Saying

★★★★★

"Honestly the easiest way to sell my car in Windsor. I looked at Clutch first but they wanted me to drive to Toronto. CARME called me personally — not a call centre — and had someone pick up my car the same week. I'll be recommending these guys to everyone."

★★★★★

"I needed to sell my car fast in the Ottawa area and CARME was the quickest option I found. Submitted online, got an offer within a minute, whole process done in two days. Painless — I'd recommend CARME to anyone."

L
Laura MacDonald
Rockland, ON
★★★★★

"I got quotes from Clutch and a couple of local dealers before trying CARME. CARME gave me the best price and Michael himself called me — not a call centre. If you want to sell your car in Toronto without the runaround, these are the guys."

T
Terry Nolan

★★★★★

"Submitted my truck and had a call back within the hour. Looked at Clutch too but CARME came to me in Ottawa instead of making me drive somewhere. Offer, pickup, payment — done in two days. Couldn't have been easier."

K

★★★★★

"Best way to sell a car without the private sale headache. I didn't want strangers at my house — CARME came to me in Hamilton, gave a fair price, no haggling, cheque the next day. Easiest car transaction I've ever made."

S
Sandra B.

★★★★★

"Had an active loan on my SUV and wasn't sure who'd buy it. CARME was the fastest option I found in Kingston — they paid out the loan directly and handled all the paperwork. Just signed the ownership and handed over the keys."
