BCCar Tax AppraisalsSee your savings

Used EVs & hybrids

The used-EV tax break is gone. The battery problem isn't.

Since April 30, 2025, used electric vehicles in BC pay PST like any other car — on the greater of your price or Black Book value. But book values don't know your battery's health. A pack at 78% capacity, an out-of-warranty drivetrain, a range that's quietly shrunk — that's real, measurable lost value.

Battery degradation

Capacity loss directly cuts what a buyer will pay — and what the car is honestly worth.

Warranty cliff

An EV one year past its 8-year battery warranty is worth meaningfully less than book.

Charging & recalls

Slow DC charging, recall history, or a replaced pack all change real-world value.

EV-aware appraisals

We document battery health evidence (dash readouts, service records, OBD battery reports if you have them) alongside standard condition factors — so your FIN 320 reflects what your EV is actually worth, not what a spreadsheet thinks.
