Hey HN!
I’m looking for feedback on an electric vehicle marketplace I’ve been working on. A few months ago I was looking for a used electric vehicle and I was left unhappy with the go-to marketplaces, e.g. Craigslist, Autotrader, etc. I was only interested in EVs, and I found those sites catered their user experience to prospective gas-car buyers. Eventually, I found OnlyUsedTesla, a great marketplace for used Teslas, but I was left unsatisfied due to their search experience and the fact that I wasn't _only_ interested in Teslas.
That's when I decided to start working on what would become EVsnap. EVsnap is an EV-friendly marketplace for buyers and sellers. Try it out, I'd love your feedback! It's completely free to list while in beta, and will always be free for prospective buyers.

Additional Feature Ideas: 1: Maybe add resources for new EV buyers, FAQs, etc.
2: Maybe also a Q&A for how users need to use their current car (range, seats, homeowner, renter, charging installation budget etc.) to filter for existing EV cars that would suit the majority of those needs (both listed on the site, and a database of existing cars not yet listed).
3: As with any marketplace, more listings makes it more useful so maybe could grow it by finding EV listings on other sites and encouraging them to list on your site too.
4: Don't be afraid to host new cars too if prices are high enough! Might be tough to keep all the rebates straight.
5: Add city/state combos into the location filter in case zip codes aren't known for a location that isn't yours (corner case probably).
6: Plug-in Hybrids like a Volt may also help people get involved that are nervous about dipping their toes in and likely make up the majority of the used market right now.
Nice job on the interface, slick UI builds confidence in users over some other EV focused news sites. The Elon fanclub can be intimidating and not always welcoming so this could be a huge option for less intense EV buyers.
