So here’s something we hear all the time at Motorize. Someone comes in for a test drive, we’re halfway through the lot, and they quietly say: “You don’t actually take gas cars on trade, do you?” And we have to smile. Because yes — absolutely yes, we do. If you’ve been sitting on the fence about […]
Let’s say you walk into Motorize today with $15,000 in your pocket and a simple question: “Where do I start?” Believe it or not, that’s actually our favourite kind of customer.

So you’ve got $25,000 to spend on a used electric vehicle. Now what? Here’s the thing — at that budget, you’re not just limited. You’re actually spoiled for choice.
