About Electreec
The honest answer to "how is this used EV?" should fit on a single screen.
Used-car marketplaces spent twenty years optimising for petrol cars and treating electric vehicles as a checkbox. Buyers walk in blind on the most important question — is this battery any good? Sellers have no way to prove their car is actually well-cared-for. We built Electreec because we drove the same nonsense and got tired of it.
The story
I bought my first used EV in 2019. The listing said "battery in great condition." I asked the dealer what the State of Health was. He said, and I quote, "the what?"
That car was fine, as it happens. But the experience told me something: the entire used-EV market was running on vibes. Across AutoScout24, Mobile.de, Autovit — every listing had the same petrol-era specs, padded with a "fuel type: electric" checkbox. Nothing about battery health. Nothing about real range. Nothing about whether the heat pump was fitted.
I waited five years for someone else to fix it. Nobody did. So I'm building it — for buyers who want to spend €12,000–€40,000 without being a battery engineer, and for honest sellers who'd like to prove their car is the well-cared-for one.
