How it works
Three simple flows: buying, selling, and dealer onboarding.
For buyers
Search and filter listings from across New Zealand. EV-specific specs (battery, range, body type) are filterable.
Once you find something, a free account lets you contact the seller through Electric Dreams — no spam, no public phone number unless they choose to share it.
Conversation stays in one thread tied to the listing. Optional offer price travels with the enquiry.
When the seller closes the listing as sold, you'll see a "Rate seller" button on the listing page.
For sellers
Create one, fill in title, price, photos, and the spec fields buyers actually filter on. Free accounts can have up to 5 active listings.
When a buyer enquires, you'll see it in your bell and inbox. Real-time chat — no lag, no refresh needed.
When you sell, mark it as "Sold via Electric Dreams" and pick the buyer from your open enquiries. That flips the listing to sold and unlocks ratings for both sides.
Every successful sale adds to your seller tier (newcomer → established → trusted → expert → legend). Ratings follow you across listings.
For businesses
If you're a registered NZ business selling EVs or e-bikes, become a verified dealer. Verification is manual: you submit your NZBN and we check it against the public business register.
Verified dealers get:
Trust
Both buyers and sellers get rated. Each rating is 1–5 stars with an optional comment. The tier is computed from successful transactions and average rating:
newcomer → established (3 sales) → trusted (10 sales, ≥3.5★) → expert (30 sales, ≥4★) → legend (100 sales, ≥4.5★).
unrated → casual (1 purchase) → reliable (3 purchases, ≥3.5★) → serious (10, ≥4★) → trusted (30, ≥4.5★).
Ratings are public and tied to the listing they came from. You can't rate a transaction you weren't part of, and you can only rate each transaction once.
