After a nightmare experience at a Nissan dealership here in Portland, and unpleasant experiences at two others, we feel so fortunate to have stumbled across EV Rides. Guillermo & Anton have restored our faith that there still are good honest people out there that actually care about their customers having a positive car buying experience. They patiently answered all our questions, providing us with useful information we didn’t know, even after leasing EVs a few years. Furthermore, they gave us a much better price for our trade-in than the traditional dealerships offered, saving us several thousand dollars.Quick & stress-free, the whole process with them could not have been any easier. We plan to go back to them for our next EV & recommend you do so as well.

#1 recommendation for anyone with a Leaf, knowledgeable and authentic. Above and beyond service for an upfront and fair price.

Buying a Nissan Leaf from EV Rides was great. EV Rides helped me decide what to buy to suit my intended use, then EV Rides found exactly the car I was looking for, and arranged delivery from Portland to my home in Bellingham. Could not have been easier. Overall, a great experience, and I would use EV Rides to buy another car in the future.

Man, I’m not sure where to start, this place is great selling affordable electric vehicles. Super friendly and easy to work with, i had a problem with my car and they instantly brought out a rental car and fixed mine. I will be back to purchase another Tesla when the time comes, but I’m glad I bought with them and will promote them whenever I get asked. Thank you guys!

Purchased a 2016 Nissan LEAF from this shop at a fair price. Their LEAF sales model takes a while to wrap your head around if you are not really familiar with Nissan LEAFs, so it really is worth investing time to talk on the phone and spend time with them in Portland to understand the tradeoffs of different LEAF body styles, trim levels, and battery pack options. If you know exactly what you are looking for (body generation, age/miles/condition, trim level, and battery size) they are really great to work with on a deposit basis. They are a very small shop and sometimes there could be minor inaccuracies on the listings, which is what I experienced, but from what I could see all of the business is conducted in very good faith with a goal to satisfy the customer. I am looking forward to seeing how they scale up with used Teslas.

My 2013 Leaf was down to about 32 miles per charge, having had one of the very last heat-sensitive “Canary“ batteries sold. My original range in 2013 was about 75 miles. When I called EV Rides, Guillermo clearly explained the battery options that were available. A $500 deposit reserved the battery, paperwork was sent, and less than a week later my car was en route from Los Angeles to Portland. After paying by wire transfer, I had my Leaf back 10 days later and I couldn’t be happier! Everything is identical except for a vastly improved range. I took a 112 mile trip yesterday with considerable range left over. My 10 year old car that previously could barely manage a round trip to my work is now able to handle every drive I do except for my very occasional trips outside the Los Angeles metro area. Although $12,000 is a very expensive “repair,” I now expect to do 90% of my driving all-electric for at least the next decade. This is far cheaper than buying another car and I am glad that EV Rides provides a battery replacement service, especially since Nissan won’t upgrade the battery in this car.

I cannot express how much they have helped me. The service and people at this autoshop is hands down absolutely AMAZING! They went above and beyond to fix my car with upgrades. I've never felt relieved with such reliable service. I highly recommend them! Thank you guys so much.

If you are looking to buy a used EV you have to check these guys out, especially if you're considering a Nissan Leaf or Tesla. They are offering a great product with solid technical experience and excellent customer service. I bought a Leaf from them, a 2013 SL with ~50k miles, and chose to keep the base 24 kWhr battery because I thought that I really wouldn't be driving the car very much. I ended up enjoying driving the car so much and it is in such good condition that I ended up going back to EV Rides and upgrading to a 40 kWhr battery. Now I have no range anxiety and can give it the beans whenever I want, hopefully breaking stereotypes of Leaf drivers. For a 10-year old car, the price I paid seemed high at first, but comparing to what else was out there at the time, an EV with this range and equipped with heated leather seats front and back and heated steering wheel was well above the price I paid at EV Rides. Guillermo and Anton were extremely helpful and courteous throughout the entire process. They have found themselves a nice niche for their business and they seem to be growing quickly. Don't be put off by the appearance of the facility, their product and service are better than a shiny dealership, and they are working on moving to a more traditional dealer facility. If you are looking for what they are offering, I can't recommend EV Rides enough.

I went to EV Rides to get a new battery for my 2011 Leaf. Guillermo was so helpful giving me all the options. I could get a newer Leaf with a new battery for only a few thousand dollars more! I was very happy with the service Guillermo provided and I love my new Leaf!

These guys really know what they're doing. I just bought a Nissan LEAF from them and couldn't be happier. They are not like other dealerships that try to sell you things you don't need. They are passionate about EVs and are extremely professional in every way. Great cars at great prices and you know they put thought and care into every vehicle. Guillermo was very considerate with us and we knew that we were making the right choice buying from EV Rides. I know this car will be reliable and I feel much safer in it than a gas car! They are extremely knowledgeable, even showing us Leafspy, an app that connects to the car's computer that shows all sorts of information that the car doesn't show by itself. Charging cable was provided, as well as the OBDII dongle accessory for the app. If you're looking for a reliable refurbished/used EV, they are the place to go.
