Our take

Cardino is making waves in the electric vehicle (EV) market with its innovative approach to connecting EV sellers and dealerships. Its unique marketplace model employs advanced technology such as battery health analysis, digital inspections, and real-time market data to streamline transactions between sellers and buyers.

Its newly launched online platform tailored for the EV market promises to revolutionise the way people buy and sell electric cars. The platform offers EV owners a digital experience that starts with instant vehicle valuation based on advanced market analytics. Users can then conduct a thorough digital inspection of their vehicles. The company's swift transaction process - taking just 5 days compared to the industry average of 27 - sets it apart and ensures above-market offers for sellers. Additionally, Cardino provides its services free of charge from start to finish, making it a game-changer in the EV secondary market.

Since its inception in late 2022, Cardino has quickly gained traction, boasting a community of over 1,000 EV sellers and 100+ dealers. In August alone, the company managed nearly €4M in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), demonstrating a remarkable monthly growth rate exceeding 50%. With the recent closure of a successful pre-seed funding round and strong investor support, Cardino is poised to drive the future of EV transactions, simplifying the process and contributing to a greener and more sustainable transportation ecosystem.
