• Good photos and honest listings
• Understanding EV battery health and charging
• Paperwork and organisation

• Dealer or agent licensing rules differ by state and territory, so check before you advertise any car
• Garage or public liability insurance, including cover for test drives

• Check what you must hold in trust and how you pay owners after a sale

Startup costs are typically around $2,000 to $10,000, depending on how you set up and advertise. Because owners keep their cars until they sell, you don't need large amounts of money tied up in stock.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $1,500 to $7,500, depending on how many cars you sell and the fees you charge. Working around 10 hours a week or more is a realistic starting point.

Dealer or agent licensing rules differ by state and territory, so check before advertising any car. Also check garage or public liability insurance including test drives, PPSR checks, how trust money is held and paid out, and honest battery condition disclosure.
