Ever is a San Francisco company building what it calls the first AI-native, full-stack auto retail platform, starting with electric vehicles. It runs an omnichannel marketplace - an online store plus a physical San Francisco showroom - where consumers can buy, sell, and finance used EVs across more than 30 brands. Underneath the storefront sits a proprietary operating system that orchestrates the unglamorous back-office work of car retail (appraisals, pricing, titling, inventory, financing), which the company says lets its sales team run two to three times more productively than a traditional used-car dealer. Ever came out of stealth in February 2026 with a $31M Series A led by Eclipse, bringing total funding to roughly $100M in equity and debt.
Tenet is a New York fintech building the first lending platform designed exclusively for electric vehicles. It uses the unique attributes of EVs, chargers, and battery storage to offer lower monthly payments, fast 24-hour funding, and a path to home electrification - increasingly as a lending-as-a-service engine that powers credit unions and other lenders.
