Wellington has New Zealand's highest per-capita electric vehicle ownership. We're specialists in EV and hybrid assessment — providing accurate values based on actual battery health, not just vehicle age or scrap weight.
Wellington's EV Market — Why Standard Assessment Fails
A standard scrap yard assesses any vehicle by metal weight — approximately $150–$300 for a typical EV. Our EV specialist assessment considers battery capacity (measured in kWh remaining), motor condition, chargeport status, and remaining drivetrain life. This consistently returns $800–$8,000 more than scrap weight alone.

Flat-Terrain EV Value — Wellington vs Northland
Wellington's Hutt Valley and Porirua flat corridors are ideal EV commuting routes — many Wellington EVs have significantly lower km than NZ averages despite high age. We assess actual battery health, not just the odometer.
