Our Personal EV Sourcing Service
At eDriven we specialise exclusively in electric vehicles. While we carefully select and prepare a varied range of quality used EVs for our stock, we know that sometimes the perfect car for you simply isn’t sitting on our forecourt.
That’s why we offer a personal car sourcing service.
You tell us exactly what you want. We search the market, locate the right car, send you the full details and photographs, and — once you’re happy — secure it for you with a deposit. You then pay the balance when the car is ready for collection or delivery.
It’s straightforward, transparent, and designed to take the stress out of finding the right electric car.
How the Sourcing Service Works
-
1. Tell us what you need
Contact us with as much detail as possible: make, model, year range, preferred mileage, colour, battery size, specification level, budget, and any must-have extras (tow bar, panoramic roof, particular alloy wheels, etc.). The more information you give us, the better we can match your requirements.
-
2. We search and shortlist
We use our network, trade contacts and market knowledge to locate suitable cars. We only put forward vehicles that we would be happy to put through our own preparation process.
-
3. We send you the details
You’ll receive high-quality photographs, a full description, current mileage, service history summary, battery state-of-health information where available, and our recommended price. We’ll also highlight any important points so you can make an informed decision.
-
4. You decide
If the car looks right, you pay a holding deposit. This allows us to secure the vehicle on your behalf. If you decide it’s not quite right, there’s no obligation and we can continue the search.
-
5. We secure and prepare the car
Once the deposit is received we purchase the vehicle, arrange transport to us if needed, and put it through our standard checks and preparation (including an 86-point inspection and battery health report on electric vehicles).
-
6. Collection or nationwide delivery
When the car is ready you pay the outstanding balance and either collect it from us in Biddenden or arrange nationwide delivery.
What We Need From You
To give you the best chance of a successful search, please provide:
- Preferred make and model
- Year range
- Maximum mileage
- Preferred colours
- Battery size / range requirements

You can message us, call, or complete a short enquiry form — whatever is easiest.

Important Points About Deposits
A holding deposit is required once you have approved a specific car. This allows us to reserve and purchase the vehicle on your behalf.
The deposit is refundable if for any reason we are unable to complete the purchase of the agreed car. If you simply change your mind after we have secured the vehicle, the deposit may be retained to cover costs incurred. Full terms will be confirmed in writing at the time the deposit is taken.
