Selling Your Electric Car Made Easy
We know the Swiss electric vehicle market.
Whether you’re selling a Tesla, Hyundai, Škoda or another electric vehicle, our data-driven valuation, in-depth market expertise and professional marketing often help you achieve a higher selling price than with a traditional dealership trade-in.
Why sell your electric car with Autobuster?
Market expertise that pays off
The electric vehicle market is constantly evolving. New models, improved driving ranges and changing prices often have a greater impact on vehicle values than they do on petrol or diesel cars.
With Autobuster, you benefit from up-to-date market data, electric vehicle expertise and professional marketing. This helps you achieve a fair market price and find the right buyer more quickly.
More money than with a dealer trade-in
With Autobuster, you sell your electric car directly to a private buyer rather than to a dealer. Dealers generally offer less because they need to account for the risk of depreciation when reselling the vehicle. That’s why selling your car privately through Autobuster can often result in a significantly higher selling price. You benefit from a market-based selling price instead of a dealer trade-in price.

How much is my electric car worth?
The value of an electric car depends on far more factors than just its age and mileage.
Battery Health: One of the Most Important Value Drivers
The battery’s state of health (SoH) directly affects the vehicle’s value. It indicates how much of the battery’s original capacity remains.
A healthy battery means...
→ Higher demand from used-car buyers
→ Better selling prices
→ Faster sales
Many buyers worry about significant battery degradation in electric vehicles. However, recent studies paint a much more positive picture: Even after more than 200,000 kilometres, most batteries still retain over 80% of their original capacity.
Range remains a key purchasing criterion
Besides battery health, real-world driving range is another key factor. Vehicles with larger batteries and practical everyday range generally achieve higher resale values.
Particularly in demand are...
Buyers therefore look beyond the official WLTP range and focus on the real-world range the vehicle can deliver in everyday driving.
Charging speed: Faster charging, higher value
Charging speed is another important factor influencing resale value. Many modern EVs can charge from 10% to 80% in just 20–30 minutes at DC fast-charging stations.
High DC Charging Speeds Are in Demand...
Maximum DC charging speed depends on the vehicle's brand, model, and battery technology.
A warranty builds trust
One often-overlooked factor is the remaining battery and vehicle warranty.
Warranties & Warranty Extensions...
Some brands even offer even longer warranty periods. An existing warranty reduces the risk for buyers and has a positive impact on sales prospects.
In addition, Autobuster offers extended warranties for many vehicles upon request. This builds buyer confidence and can help achieve a higher selling price.
Market supply and demand determine the final price
As with any vehicle, the market value of an electric car is largely determined by supply and demand.
Key market factors...
Price changes for new vehicles can directly affect used EV prices. That's why an up-to-date market analysis is essential before selling.
Our valuation takes the following factors into account:
Battery health & capacity
