About Plug
Plug is the leading marketplace for used electric vehicles, built from the ground up for how EVs are actually valued and moved. Led by former Tesla executives and backed by a $20M Series A from Lightspeed, we've facilitated nearly $100M in EV sales since launch. We buy, consign, and auction vehicles across consumers, dealers, and commercial partners through a platform built exclusively for EVs. With more than 1.1 million lease returns expected in the next three years alone, the used EV market is scaling fast. We're building the infrastructure to lead it.
