The Problem with
Used EVs


EVs are fundamentally different assets than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

Their functionality, longevity, and value depend on factors like range, computer hardware, software-enabled features, destination charging networks, tax credits, and battery health.

In today’s wholesale and retail market, most EVs are bought and sold using processes and data points built for ICE vehicles.

EV-specific information is generally absent or inaccurate, which is a disadvantage to most buyers and suppresses residual values.

Introducing Plug

Plug brings access to crucial information for confidently evaluating used EVs in a competitive bidding environment that is optimized for velocity and transparency.

As EVs become increasingly software-defined, diminishing the value of historic practices for identifying vehicle features, and battery health becomes more indicative than odometer, confident sales will require data taken directly from onboard computers.

By using technology that is uniquely possible in a marketplace that is exclusively built for EVs to replace costly and inefficient processes, Plug facilitates industry-shattering inventory turn-time, protecting both sides from volatility.

Plug is backed by world-class venture capital firms with deep expertise in automotive marketplaces, covered by the automotive industry’s most trusted insurance company, and founded by Tesla’s former head of North America Remarketing.
