If you buy an EV online, the dealer or private seller may be able to ship it to you. Check to make sure before making a purchase to determine if they offer shipping services, because you’ll have to factor in that expense. Some dealers will drop the car off at your location – doorstep delivery, which includes the insurance. 

If they don’t offer shipping, you’ll need to find a third-party shipping company to transport the vehicle to you. Or you can road trip or fly to retrieve it yourself. If you are unable to travel to pick up the vehicle yourself, shipping may be the only option.

When choosing your shipping company, it’s important to get quotes from several different companies to compare prices and services. 

You should also make sure that the company you choose is insured and has a good reputation.

Shipping a car be expensive, so it’s important to factor in the cost of shipping when making your decision.

Consider these things before shipping an EV:

• Have the seller do a walk around video along with exterior and interior pics for proof of condition prior to shipping.
• Get quotes from several different shipping companies.
• Pricing depends on distance and type of shipping.
• Determine the type of shipping to include enclosed or open trailer.
• Make sure the company you choose is insured and has a good reputation.
• Insure the vehicle for its full value. This will protect you in case the EV is damaged during shipping.
• Track the shipment closely.

Congrats on your purchase!  I hope your EV arrives safely and in perfect condition.
