Aampere, a Munich-based startup building a digital marketplace for used electric vehicles, has closed a €4.2 million late seed round as it looks to scale its platform across Europe.

The round was backed by Trind Ventures, Vend, formerly Schibsted, GIMIC Ventures, G-FUND, Maverick Ventures GmbH & Co. KG, and a group of automotive founders.

Founded in 2022, Aampere operates a platform for buying and selling used electric cars with a fully digital process that includes valuation, condition and history checks, integrated logistics, and a dealer auction designed to determine pricing.

The funding comes as the second-hand EV market continues to grow across Europe, with startups and incumbents alike racing to address a still fragmented and largely offline market.
