Why Should I Buy an Electric Car from ElectricCars.com? |
|
|
|
We are not owned by any one manufacturer which allows us to offer many different brands. This makes it possible to sell the cars we feel are best and we can be honest about the advantages and disadvantages of each car. We deal with only the best, most honest, and upstanding automotive companies we can find. Our position is to be on both the manufacturer and the customers side regarding the purchase of these cars.
Beware of scams! We have known most of the manufacturers of the cars we sell for years and we quarrantee you will receive your car only if you buy through us. We have seen several flakey companies steal money from honest customers and we've seen many people who have lost money by sending it to companies who are not solid. If a company is dishonest to us we will tell the world, we will make it our prime goal to put them out of business forever!!!

How Do I Test Drive an Electric Car Before Buying One? |

When our customers order cars we do everything possible to get the cars out for shipment as soon as they arrive at our distirbution centers, so far no cars are sitting, and we get the cars out to our customers as soon as we get them. Because electric cars are selling so fast we cannot even keep a demo model in our inventory!. We realize this way of purchasing cars is not for eveyone... but until we have local dealers in your area we are doing our best to get your electric car to you.

Can You Trade in Your Car? |
|
|
|
Most gas dealers make enough profit on thier cars they have "room" in the sales price to purchase your used car and bury the cost within the purchase of your new car. Costs for building, importing and selling EV's is still very high and our profit margins are generally too low to have money to "smoke screen" a trade in purchase.

Do We Have Printed Paper Brochures for the Cars We Sell? |
|
|
|
We're trying to do our part to decrease the desctruction of trees. Most paper brochures eventually end up in junk piles and land fills. Not good! The displays for our vehicles in our online showroom are far better than paper brochures because they are updated in real time. They show up to date specifications, the newest photos and even videos!

Why Do I Have to Pay for My Car in Advance? |
|
|
|
Most Electric Vehicles are in high demand and may be subject to waiting lists and many manufacturers require pre-order payments. Most of these cars are sold before they are completely built! Someday soon there will be ElectricCars.com dealerships in your neighborhood. But for now we are doing our best to get these cars out to customers worldwide.

How Do I Finance an Electric Car? |
|
|
|
Because many electric cars are priced under $15,000 most people find it easy to get a personal loan for them. We can supply you with an order form to present to the bank. We don't know the car's VIN number (required for identity to secure the loan) until the car arrives so most banks handle these purchases like any other brand new car.

How Do You Receive Your Electric Car When You Buy it Online? |
|
|
|
We ship your car to you using bonded and insured auto transport services. Depending on your location shipping can be done easily and affordably. Ironically, the reason shipping costs can be high is due to the high price of fuel required by the shipping company. But, at least this will be one of the last times you'll pay for gas!.

How Much Does it Cosy to Ship My Car to Me? |
|
|
|
We have access to the best auto transport services. When you fill out a sales inquiry we will do a rough estimate based on these services specs. Shipping costs are approximate and subject to change. The biggest factors for shipping costs are distance, weather and gas prices. Typical shipping for mid sized EV's range around $800-1,200 in the USA, larger cars require more fuel, cargo space and insurance. International orders can be done too.

How Long Does it Take to Ship My Car to Me? |
|
|
|
Most Vehicles are ready to be shipped to you within 1-3 weeks. High demand cars are purchased prior to shipment from the factory and may take longer. Shipping times depend on the distance you are from the distrution center, transport availability, weather conditions and range from a few days to several weeks. If your car is a new model or recently introduced you can count on longer wait times as the cars hit the streets... As people see these cars we've seen many times the number of orders increasing "over night"... And, when the cars get into news programs and movies they become nearly impossible to order! This is all good, people love electric cars... and we're truly excited to see them in your garages!
