In this episode my guest is Jimmy Douglas, founder and CEO of Plug and former Tesla exec. Jimmy’s one of the sharpest voices in the pre-owned EV market, and he’s here to break down what most dealers are missing, and what a small group is quietly getting right.
We talk about why nearly half of dealers still won’t touch used EVs, what it actually takes to build a profitable EV business inside your store, and why “dipping your toe in” may be worse than not playing at all. Jimmy also shares how culture inside the dealership makes or breaks EV success, what numbers you should pay attention to, and how to avoid getting stuck with inventory that loses value faster than you expect.
If you’ve been on the fence about EVs, this conversation will help you sort through the noise and figure out whether your store is ready—or if it’s better to wait. Either way, you’ll walk away with a clearer picture of what’s really happening in the market and how to prepare for what’s coming.
