Traditional auto dealers will only start shifting from ICE to EVs when they genuinely believe they can make real money selling them.

For local retailers, moving into the small‑but‑growing used EV market isn’t about environmental ideology; it’s about having the right team in the right place at the right time to actually capitalize.

And in a world of very expensive new cars, high interest rates, new tariffs, and $100 oil barrels, there’s almost never been a better moment for committed dealers to jump into used EVs.

Imagine celebrating your third birthday at a conference table.

Some of my earliest memories are from my dad's test equipment company in Silicon Valley, where I had my own shelf of toys and books in the office. When I was six, my family moved to a Christmas tree farm in rural Oregon. There, my dad spent the early days of the Internet building and trying to sell cars online.

I speak with about how growing up around entrepreneurs has shaped my view of business, risk, and opportunity to this day.

The first $50M took two and a half years. The second $50M? A blink of an eye.

I sat down with The Urban EV Podcast to break down how Plug crossed $100M in EV sales. What we figured out from day one is that EVs are fundamentally different assets than used gas cars and the market is finally catching up to that reality.

Software features, charging network access, onboard hardware versions. These are the real factors driving used EV value right now, and most of the market still isn't up to speed on them.

What would it take to get a dealer to buy an EV at auction?

Lobotomy. Federal intervention. “I do it all the time.” And “it would have to be zero dollars.” were some of the answers.

ASOTU, where market sentiment and stand‑up comedy accidentally became the same thing.

"If you slow down, you'll fall behind and you'll never see the finish line."

Working in automotive in 2026 is a full marathon. It’s a lot of work, it doesn’t stop, and the moment you ease up, you’re already behind.

I sat down with to talk about what it really feels like to work in this industry right now and why it’s still a great time to be here.

I did not plan this, but I have zero regrets.

My team has a way of catching me completely off guard, and somehow it always ends like this.

When you forget you're the only guy in the room.

Free Supercharging for life. People pay thousands of dollars extra for it.

Listen, it's a great feature. But most people are probably paying more for that premium than they'd ever actually spend on Supercharging, unless they're an outlier.

I walk through why the math usually doesn’t work out, even if the idea of “free charging forever” sounds amazing up front.

People keep talking about a “used EV market meltdown,” but the actual data says the opposite.

Cox Automotive’s EV Market Monitor shows that days of supply for used EVs have been at parity with used combustion vehicles for over a year, and prices have moved much closer together. The more affordable these cars get, the faster they sell on dealer lots.

I talk with The Urban EV Podcast about why affordability and real‑time market data completely contradict the doom narrative around used EVs.

Stretch Lab, massage table, and somehow we still end up talking about minivans and range anxiety.

ASOTU might be the only place where you can work on your hamstrings and your EV education at the same time.

A massive wave of off-lease EVs is about to hit dealer lots, and the stores that figure out how to sell them well will unlock a big new profit center.

Right now, only a few hundred rooftops plus players like CarMax, Carvana, and Tesla move more than half of the used EV market, while most dealers don’t touch them at all, but that imbalance can’t last once hundreds of thousands of lease returns start showing up.

I talk with Bill Stern about why high gas prices, tight gas inventory, and surging demand for used EVs are about to force traditional dealers to finally get serious about this segment.
