Pricing you can actually see

Other auctions obscure what dealers actually pay. All our auction fees are fully transparent on vehicle detail pages. This includes buy fees, floorplan integrations, extended arbitration windows, and transportation.

Arbitration built to protect you

We provide clear title and condition arbitration policies. This covers a defined filing window, a minimum threshold to qualify, and a fair payout if something turns up wrong after the sale.

Transportation handled how you want it

Let Plug dispatch your EV straight to your lot, or arrange your own pickup, whichever fits your needs. We keep vehicles moving fast so you can sell them faster.

Where does your inventory come from

Plug's inventory is sourced from consumers, dealerships, lenders, fleets and OEMs. All of Plug's listings are exclusive to us, not available anywhere else.

How is Plug different from other wholesale auctions?

Plug was built from the ground up to exclusively facilitate buying and selling of battery electric vehicles. From software-defined and autonomous driving hardware and software, to charging network access and battery health, Plug guarantees transparency and accuracy on every listing.

What is Retail Ready

Get a selection of EVs that are lot-ready, from day one. Every vehicle is inspected and reconditioned across battery health, mechanical performance, exterior and interior condition, and software & connectivity.

Does Plug buy EV trade-ins from dealers

Yes. Submit your trade-in and get a cash offer in your inbox within 15 minutes. If the offer looks good, we run a quick inspection to verify the condition, execute a bill of sale, and pay you as soon as we receive the title.
