The benefits of selling through Pickles
Pickles has been actively preparing for used electric and hybrid vehicles to hit the market for many years , making us the obvious choice for sellers when offloading their used models . This , alongside our long and proud partnerships with major governments , fleet managers , councils , not for profits , financiers and rideshare entities means Pickles have received the lion ’ s share of used EVs that have gone to auction , making us the leaders in the field , the most experienced and the business with the most data to rely on .
Pickles data-led services ensure that our auctions are the most safe and profitable option for selling used EVs . Our data insights reveal that electric vehicles are currently selling for 2x the price of an ICE car that has a third of the usage . Additionally , our statistics also show that 1 in every 2 used EVs is sold directly to everyday consumers like mums and dads , as opposed to 1 in every 4 ICE vehicles . We know that electric models are leased for far shorter terms than other vehicles . These data points are meaningful , helping us remarket effectively to the right audiences and advise our partners through the process of offloading their electric assets .
Having been at the forefront of used EV remarketing since its introduction in Australia , Pickles tackled the primary challenge of educating consumers on the benefits and intricacies of electric vehicles in a landscape that ’ s been long dominated by petrol and diesel vehicles . To address this challenge , Pickles provides extensive customer education in the form of a dedicated Electric and Hybrid Cars page , whitepapers , quarterly market updates , blogs , and even YouTube videos that break down EV insights !

In fact , with the current state of the economy , a massive number of Australians who want to make the electric switch will only achieve this via a used model as the new price is simply off the table .
