Flew in from Atlanta to pick up a Model 3 after seeing the car of my dreams on their site. The team was awesome about answering questions, and they were very knowledgeable and friendly. Arrived right at the time they opened and they had me out the door within an hour and a half, ready to road-trip back to Atlanta. Could not be happier with my experience and my purchase at Current. (oh yeah, and they actually take care of their inventory cars, unlike some typical online dealers who let the batteries run flat)

Ive bought two Teslas from Current Automotive.... both from Joe DiMaggio.... I live in New Jersey. They are in Chicago... no problem, both cars were shipped and look like they came off of a Tesla Showroom floor when they arrived. Fair Pricing, Great Service, Follow-Up After the sale... I couldnt ask for anything more.

I had a great experience selling my Tesla to Current Automotive. Whole process was completed online and over email. It was a smooth transaction and they picked up my car from my home. They also paid a good price, almost same as what a private party would have paid, even though they are a car dealer.

Unbelievable experience!! I cannot thank Lida enough for the remarkable service and answering all of my questions. My first time buying an electric car and she made sure I was ready to hit the road knowing how to operate and charge the vehicle. Highly recommended and will look forward to my next purchase from them in the future.

Loved our experience. No haggling, no pressure. Just a warm, honest salesman (Kevin) who was happy to help and share his knowledge and love of EVs. Highly recommend.

Absolutely ridiculous experience with these people, would not do business with them. Ordered a car through their site to then be called 5 HOURS later to be told that someone miraculously had been in the store and then put their order in for the vehicle. Beyond unprofessional, if this was true a five hour time frame to be notified is not only rude but also disreputable

Bought a 2017 Chevy Volt from Current Automotive and salesman, Joe DiMaggio. It was an absolute fantastic car buying experience and super refreshing after a few months of terrible car shopping experiences with other salespeople and dealers. It’s also awesome to have a dealer that 100% deals in electric/hybrid vehicles. When I test drove Volt’s at non-electric dealers, the cars were never charged and the sales people were clueless on the vehicles themselves.Post purchase I noticed the inflator/flat kit wasn’t in the car. I contacted Joe and he took care of it and mailed me one no questions asked. Great experience. Highly recommend this dealer if you’re looking for a used EV.

We’re used to pushy salespeople, dishonesty, and hidden fees at dealers. I’m thrilled to report that we found none of this at Current. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable (many being former Tesla employees), friendly, and accommodating. They patiently answered our many questions, sent follow-up pictures, and made sure we were completely comfortable with the process. There are also no dealer or doc fees. Once we were ready to pull the trigger, they were quick to set everything up and got us out the door in about an hour. This was a completely stress-free process and we cannot be happier with our first EV!

Big shout-out to Joe and Seneca at Current, they truly have a top notch operation going there. The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable about electric vehicles and is strongly committed to their mission. I never once felt pressured into buying and they were extremely patient with my questions and went out of their way to accommodate my schedule for pick-up. The experience was a night and day difference between traditional dealerships and I will definitely be returning again for future purchases. Keep it up guys, I cant recommend this place highly enough!

This was my first experience buying a vehicle online. I had a lot of questions and the existing agent was Patient, informative, professional, and non-aggressive in his sales technique. After deciding to move forward with the transaction the car was delivered in the exact manner displayed on the website So there were no surprises. Prior to taking ownership I was kept in the loop about timetable of delivery and what to expect. The staff were Helpful to me in making the transition to an electric vehicle and providing needed resources when deciding on the type of household charger to install. A month later I am thrilled with my purchase (Tesla model 3) and very happy to make recommendation to strongly consider Current Automotive When deciding to make your next vehicle purchase. I have no regrets!

I met some of the team at Current recently and was extremely impressed. Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely nice people. They have a lot of Tesla vehicles in stock and can educate you on everything electric. I’d highly recommend visiting them instead of a Tesla store.

Current automotive purchased my Tesla from me and I cannot day enough about the level of service and how smooth the process is. I happen to buy and sell cars often and will not look any further in the future. Adam was the sales rep that helped me and the owner was readily available to answer any questions. All around 5 star experience!

My girlfriend bought a Fiat 500e from Current last year. They had the exact one she wanted at the best price we could find in the area. The whole experience was so low pressure and smooth that I soon returned to buy myself an EV. Again, there was zero pressure and no attempts to up-sell me on a more expensive car. In fact, when I explained my situation to them, they actually recommended the LESS expensive car as it fit my needs better than the Model S that I was trying to convince myself was a good idea.After hearing how great my experience was, two of my coworkers have also bought cars from them. This was, by far, the best car buying experience Ive ever had.

Honest and efficient operation from start to finish. I received a fair offer and the process was painless. Funds were wired directly into my account and the car was picked up the same day. Very impressed and my highest recommendation!

I never leave negative reviews unless my experience is extraordinarily horrible. Keeping it short, my experience with trusting this dealership to register my vehicle out of state has been a complete nightmare! Here I am almost 3 months post purchase and my registration has still not been processed. The dealership is not taking ownership and continues to shift the blame to their 3rd party registration company. I have been so patient and trusting but after the conversation I had today with the dealership and the 3rd party registration company (whom contradicted each other) I have no faith that I will tag. After two months on an expired tag, I have stopped driving the vehicle at this point. Disappointed is an understatement.

Best car buying experience ever. Seneca was awesome to work with. With him being a former Tesla employee, he was very knowledgeable about Teslas and the EV industry. It was a very pleasant process as the pricing was straight-forward and fair, and I never once felt pressured into buying. Picking up the vehicle was a great experience as all the paperwork was done quickly, and there was no annoying wait or being pressured into buying any extended warranties or items youd face in a normal car dealership finance office. I highly recommend Current Automotive, and would buy from them again in the future!

My 2015 Volt was totaled; I was hit by a teenager in his car, causing me to spin 180 degrees. Not fun, BUT it led me to the most amazing car-buying experience I have ever gone through.I searched online for a replacement car, and I have a keen interest in hybrids and EVs, so my searches were fairly specific to certain models. Thats when I found Current Automotive.I couldnt believe a dealer like this existed. All PHEVs and EVs. Amazing!They have a wide selection of PHEVs and EVs that are lightly to moderately used in a previous life. They only acquire quality vehicles that they deem worthy. Everything from Fiats to Teslas, Bolts and Volts, i3s and Primes. It was like my own personal high-tech car show!On top of that, the prices were very reasonable, and the staff was not just professional, they were very kind and patient.The buying process was no-pressure and very streamlined since the prices were firm and non-negotiable. Every dealer should have that option.Long story short, I now drive a beautiful, red 2017 Volt that hasnt failed to put a smile on my face. Keep in mind, Ive been driving a Volt for 7 years prior to this one, but somehow, this one takes the cake. Its not only a better car, but the experience in getting it really seals the deal.If theyre open in a few years, my next car will come from them.HIGHLY RECOMMEND going there. Meet Joe Dimaggio. Take a test drive in the EV of your dreams. You wont regret it!

I was contacted online since I had my car advertised on cars.com. They offered me a somewhat low price at first but after talking to them for a bit we agreed on a number. I was highly skeptical at first. Did my research etc and decided to proceed. I must admit this was the easiest car sale I have ever done. They overnighted me docs to sign and send back in their pre-paid envelope. No joke, within 48 hrs my loan was paid off and picked up the car the following week. Thank you Seneca, Adam and the team there at current for making this easiest thing I have ever done. There was no waiting for buyers to get financing or dealing with people test driving my car. I see why this place has so many good reviews.

Found them on Google while I was planning to sell my previous Tesla Model 3. Seneca contacted me and offered more than $10,000.00 compared to what Tesla was offering for trade-in. In the beginning, we were hesitant to sell our car online as we are in New Jersey while Current Automotive is located in Illinois, and we had to deal everything online. But later, we trusted Seneca and followed his advise. He knows what exactly he is doing and the process was really simple.This was my first new car. I bought it online from Tesla and sold it online to Current Automotive. From my experience, I would say, the system of buying / selling cars created by Tesla, Current Automotive shall be the future.I would highly recommend to at least check with Current Automotive, if you would like to sell or buy used Tesla cars. Thank you Seneca for making our Tesla Model 3 selling process smooth. I will contact you again, if I need to sell my another Tesla Model 3.

Seneca and Joe were amazing. I have owned many cars in my time and enjoyed the car buying experience at Current Automotive. Both Joe and Seneca were extremely knowledgeable about Tesla and everything about electric vehicles. Everything went very smooth during our transaction. We purchased a Tesla Model 3 and it has been amazing so far. The speed and technology of this car is awesome! I would highly recommend purchasing from this dealership. They truly care about their customers. Thanks for everything guys!Brad, Ella, and Alina

I cant say enough about the value the Current team brought to my car buying experience. I have bought many cars in my life, and there was never an experience that came close to this one. I was searching for a fairly hard-to-find hybrid EV. In the Chicago area, there were only 3 available and only one that had the features I was looking for. I had test driven the vehicle from one of the other dealerships in the area and wasnt sure about the car - and was definitely sure I didnt want to buy from the dealership.I happened to be near Current automotive and thought I would give that vehicle one last drive to see if I liked it or not.I drove the car and loved it. Next was the painful part. I had to discuss a trade-in (if they even did that for my non EV car). Typically, this is when I want to walk out of a dealership and bring my money elsewhere...but they are all the same, right? Not in this case. Because they dont resell non-EV vehicles directly, this ended up being the most pleasant trade-in experience I have ever experienced (with anything). I wont go into the details, but it was kinda fun...and I ended up getting something relatively close (within hundreds) of what I would likely have gotten trying to sell it outright, without the hassle of having to sell it outright.So that was cool, but I still had to buy the new car. I was not financing, but Joe (DiMaggio - no kidding) still treated me as I would have wanted. The location itself was no-frills, but comforting. He was super pleasant and thoughtful the entire time. He had me out of there as quickly and painlessly as possible. There were things he needed from my trade-in (that I didnt have with me), and I was able to just send them after I got back home (in a pre-paid envelop no less).The fun however, was not over, I hadnt been able to test the charging cable (because I was in a hurry) and when I got home, there was a PIN associated with it - set by the previous owner. That was frustrating...however, I called several dealerships to get it resolved, to no avail. More frustration. So I reached back out to Joe. He sent a temp charging cable and then worked with me over the period of a few days to get the factory cable back to him so he could find the right resource to get it reset. In the end, he went way above and beyond what I would expect after purchasing a used vehicle. I didnt ever have to pay a cent to get things shipped back and forth, and the communications were quick and courteous at all times.If I ever plan to purchase another used EV, there is a 100% chance I will make the 60 mile drive back to Current. And hey, how many places can you go to say you bought a car from Joe DiMaggio?!! Kudos and keep up the excellent work!

I was directed to Seneca and Current Automotive by my Tesla sales rep for a good experience in selling my car Model S. Seneca and the team made it incredibly easy to deal with them and were very fair with me in terms of valuations, etc.... Very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do! These guys are doing it right.

Review №37

Fantastic dealer! The specialize in electric vehicles and scanning their lot, I think they have pretty close to every EV so far in one place to compare and pick between. No more going from one manufacturer dealer to another everything in one place (assuming its an EV). On top of that very friendly staff all around and Kevin was very helpful.As a bonus the trade in experience which is horrible at a normal dealer was very easy and pleasant there. They dont keep non EVs so they are very transparent about what you can get and its dead simple. Went into the day knowing what my old car was worth and expecting to have to sell it elsewhere but didnt have to because they actually paid what it was worth.Definitely recommend if your in the market for an EV.

Found a car online, called them up, and within a few days the car was on my way - they detailed it for me, sent me LOTS of pictures, put new tires on it, and kept me appraised every step of the way. Heck, even the paperwork they had to send was convenient, a lot of sign here sticky notes to make the job as painless as paperwork can be. All told, this has been the best car buying experience Ive ever had, and Ive never even been to the lot!

In my journey to purchase a Tesla Model 3 I called many dealers, I can say with confidence you will not find better customer service then here. I spoke with Kevin and Joe, I called them multiple times and asked different questions and they always made time to answer or follow up. With other dealers they have this thing about time is money and if I am asking question and not buying they do not want to speak with me. I cant explain it any other way, If you want your next electric used vehicle I can assure you this is your dealer. Also I bought my Tesla somewhere else because the demands is very high and needed a car right away, so this is not a paid review by them. I wish they had the specific model my fiancé and I were looking for but they just did not have it at the time. Again if you have read this far please know this might be one of the best dealers and customer service I have received in a long time.

Completely painless and smooth process. What a treat.Sent an e mail, they ask for pictures, received their offer and within 5 days the car was payed and picked up.Cant believe that such a service is possible. Made me feel that I am the only customer they have. DONT hesitate buy or sell your car with this company. Tell everyone!!!!!.I wish they can teach other dealers on how it should be done.THANKS Seneca, THANKS Automotive.

I bought a barely used Nissan Leaf 100% online. Though a bit nervous about buying a car sight unseen, it worked great. The team at Current is very helpful, communicative, accommodating and friendly. I was able to order my car online and received it about a week later, delivered via an 18 wheeler. The only thing missing was the user manual that apparently didnt get left in the car when they acquired it (and is online). I decided to trade my existing car with my local Carvana vs. trading via Currents website during the transaction as they offered a better price.In all, the best car buying experience. The only negative is not being able to test drive, but I was able to get a feel for one at my local dealership (who did not have the style/model I was seeking).

They are the first automotive dealer that is focused on selling all Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV). This team is very focused on electric vehicles and making sure that potential customers are informed accurately about electric vehicle choices. If you are considering your next used vehicle, this could be a great starting point!

I bought a 2016 Kia Soul EV in december, and its been fabulous. There was an issue with the onboard charger within days of purchase and Current found a local Kia dealer who could do the replacement and took the car in for me since its still under warranty. No problems since, and its been a daily driver for me. Everyone there is knowledgeable and patient. Helped me and my family get into our first EV! Highly recommended dealer.

I purchased 2016 Tesla Model X. Im actually live in Texas, so I couldnt see the car actually. When I received the car, it was perfect I thought. But, someday I found the broken parts from the spoiler. It wasnt showing the pictures when I purchased it.I talked Kevin who was the sales person of my car. He offer me 50% reimburse for fix. Its used car and people buying whatever condition is. I was very thankful for helping me. I really recommend buy car here even if you live in different state. I live in Texas, the process is slow then what I thought, but it will be delivered to you. Awesome car! I love it!
