Drive Green Reviews 

I bought a second hand Tesla from them and from start to finish it was a really easy process.
I found them to be like a typical small family business ( I don't know if they are )
I would definitely use them again.

We have just bought our first electric car from Drive Green. The whole experience has been hassle free. Straight forward advice and no hard sell were appreciated. Very efficient set up which I will have no hesitation in using again.

I couldn't be more positive about Drive Green. The whole EV buying experience was amazing, from the first point of contact to collecting my EV. Not only did the team at Drive Green help me choose the right EV for my needs, but I had the chance to test-drive many different models to help me make a decision. So happy with my purchase, if you need an EV go to Drive Green.

We have bought two cars over the last five years from Drive Green. I have found the staff knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the transition to electric vehicles. We have had no real issues with either car and feel confident in our purchases. They can get really busy but our patience was rewarded.

Nice and easy purchase of a lovely Ev car. Reece was perfect to deal with and any questions I had he was more than happy to help. I’ll definitely be using them again when i upgrade my car

Car runs great and I have no doubts that if there was anything wrong, they would help me to sort it out. I would recommend the company. Their cars are as described and at a competitive price point.

I bought my i3 from Drive Green, and I couldn't be happier. The staff are knowledgeable and talked me through different options, eventually helping me find the best car for my needs. What's more, the staff have been incredibly helpful post-sale, answering my questions about how to use the many different features on the car. I will definitely buy from them again when the time comes.

What a fantastic car buying experience… the staff are not only super friendly but super knowledgeable about everything EV. If you’re looking for a pleasurable buying experience without pushy sales people Drive Green is definitely the place to go. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend them enough.

I never thought buying a car would be so hassle free.

Thank you.

Quick and convenient

Such a quick, easy and efficient process buying my first electric car from Drive Green. And really good support and helpful advice from Reece.

I bought a Zoe, 2 years old last October . When I put it in for the first MOT this June it failed as the brake pads were so shot I was advised not to drive it. I was curious about this as I had been assured that it had a full service record. It turns out the last service had indicated the brakes needed urgent attention. So a full record of incomplete service. Not my idea of a full service record!
Their response was in effect it was all my fault as I hadn't read the service documents (that will teach me to take someone at their word) and that it had an MOT before I bought it. I proved there was no existing MOT (a ridiculous claim as it is so easy to check). So, a car less than a year after I bought it cost me £650 to fix this to get through MOT due to an underlying fault at point of sale. Very friendly sales force but once it's yours they accept no liability. They pass you onto a lawyer ASAP
Will use main dealer next time

Well its been 8 months and still no date set for a repair promised in September when we bought the car. Tried a few contacts but given the excuse that a back up car was not ready. Also reported a strange noise with reversing within 3 months apparent warranty period - again no serious response.
I sent them an internal review hoping it might jog them but the reality is they sell lovely cars but don't really want the responsibility of after care that any normal used car dealership would offer sadly.
Wanted to return to upgrade in a couple of years but this has probably dented that sadly.

Worst car buying experience ever.

I bought a Renault Zoe from them in 2022, because of the distance I was unable to view the vehicle in person.

For two weeks I requested pictures/videos of the car, but due to a change in staff I was constantly met with excuses - at the time Zoe cars were selling very fast so I put down a £500 non-refundable deposit before seeing images of the car, a massive regret in hindsight.

On the morning of the delivery I was finally sent a video of the car, which detailed damage to three alloys, the driver's seat and scratches all across the front paint work - which I was assured would be filled in before delivery (they were not).

I had not been warned of any damage and had been told the car was in excellent condition. A lie, clearly.

Because the delivery was that day, I felt pressured to not cancel as there was a non refundable £500 deposit. They also refused to reduce the price based on the new information stating it was built into the price of the car.

The car arrived that afternoon (the delivery driver was lovely) and I felt further pressured to accept the car due to the possible £600 delivery charge if the car was sent back to them - £300 to deliver, and £300 to take it back to them if not accepted.

The only compensation they provided me was a paint damage filler pen, which they bought off Amazon for ~£20.

After a long conversation over the phone I was told nothing could be done and no reduction in price could be made. I was pressured into completing the purchase and almost a year on I wish I had not.

Worst experience I have ever had, the actions of Drive Green in this instance scream of anti-consumer practices.

I would never use they service again.

Drive Green are on a mission to do things differently - to be better, and to help educate people in sustainable living. Having just bought my first EV from Drive Green, I have nothing but praise for them. I spent considerable time researching the vehicle before purchase, and DG's film clips and information were some of the best out there on the web. Their website is extremely informative on all aspects of buying and owning an EV. On Visiting, Reece was an absolute pleasure to deal with in every respect. He could not have been more helpful and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. We were able to discuss the merits of other cars as well as taking out another car for a test run. All our questions were answered to our full satisfaction, and after purchasing our first EV, Reece gave a thorough and comprehensive hand over. Buying a car can ( but shouldn't) be a daunting experience. Buying from Drive Green was an absolute pleasure and actually is something more than just buying a car. It is about a move to a more sustainable life style and a better way of living. Drive Green are to be commended on their approach in every respect and are a company I value and trust. I cannot recommend Reece and the team at Drive Green highly enough.

The service from start to finish was excellent. Rees was so patient and went beyond expectations helping me find the perfect electric car for my needs… I love my Zoe. My advice is don’t go anywhere else for your car … these guys can’t be beaten for quality and service.

We bought our Renault Zoe from Drive Green and are completely delighted with both the car itself and the advice provided pre-sale by Reece and the team at Drive Green.
It was so informative and reassuring to talk through the various options on a couple of visits, and to be given the confidence to make the switch to our first ev with their after sales service guarantee.
I have recommended Drive Green to everyone who has admired our new car! Thank you all, a superb experience.

Friendly and cheerful help from Reece Cleverly made my purchase a pleasurable experience, and any nerves about driving an EV for the first time eased with Reece's help. Phone calls were returned very promptly and I feel confident that the after sales help offered would be forthcoming if I needed it. Would throughly recommend this company

This is the second time I have bought from Drive Green, and so have several friends. I would not go anywhere else. Excellent service. Reece Cleverly was delightful. Even though I booked to look at one car, about which he was very knowledgeable and had clearly done his homework, he was equally impressive about a different car that caught my eye - even though it had only arrived that morning! Reece had just the right combination of enthusiasm, professional friendliness and courtesy whilst never giving the "hard sell". Once Id decided on the car I wanted he and the other staff went out of their way to get it available for me ASAP. I LOVE my car and thank all the team at Drive Green, especially Reece.

I wanted to upgrade my Zoe and booked to look at the 3 that they had. I was assured that all were available, so I test drove my favourite, but when I got back, I was told it was sold. I got a definite figure to purchase my next favourite allowing for the part exchange of my current car. The following day when I contacted them to say "yes", they reduced my P/X by £95.00 because the service was due in 2 months time. However, I did proceed and paid the deposit and arranged a collection day. Later, I got a phone call effectively calling the deal off by saying they'd made a mistake on my Zoe P/X and that it would cost me another £1400.00 if I still wanted to proceed! I would therefore warn anyone to be very cautious about dealing with this company - professional they're not!!!!

My initial review was tinged with excitement of getting an EV. The car I brought is a Leaf. And a lot of the functionality is dependent on a SD card. The SD was missing. But I was assured it would only be a matter of days to be resolved. Over 5 weeks later I am now incredibly frustrated at the lack of an ETA or communication from Drive Green. It is claimed that the delay is with the Nissan dealership. I didn’t mention their poor communication in my first review. But communication via phone or email appalling. No response to phone voices messages. And days to get a response to email. And I am now always having to chase up. It would appear that they are like every last typical second hand car dealer, in that the moment they have your money and you’re off their forecourt they will have no interest in you at all. I would strongly advise that you are absolutely sure that the car is 100% before you drive off. As my experience of even getting a simple SD card has been forecast a 3 month turn around.
