Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Ever raised $31 million on February 12, 2026; total funding reached about $100 million.
  • TechCrunch reported thousands of customers already buying and selling EVs on Ever.
  • Eclipse led the round, giving Ever board-level capital and a strong industrial backer.

What critics are saying

  • CarMax cut 230 jobs in January 2026; incumbents are fighting back on cost.
  • Group 1 Automotive cut 700 jobs in May 2026; dealer groups will copy Ever quickly.
  • If Ever misses inventory-turn targets, capital-intensive EV retail destroys margins before national scale.

What makes Ever unique

  • Ever combines online EV shopping with a San Francisco showroom and nationwide delivery.
  • Ever serves 40 states with 30-plus brands and 200-plus EV models and trims.

Ever Raises $31M Series A for AI-Native Auto Retail Platform

Ever raises $31M Series A to launch the first AI-native auto retail platform. Backed by Eclipse, Ever brings scale and efficiency to the $1.2T auto industry.

TechCrunch
Feb 12th, 2026
Eclipse leads $31M Series A for Ever, an AI-native EV marketplace

Ever, a startup positioning itself as the first AI-native, full-stack marketplace for electric vehicles, has raised $31 million in a Series A round led by Eclipse. Ibex Investors, Lifeline Ventures and JIMCO, the investment arm of Saudi Arabia's Jameel family, co-invested. The company operates both an online marketplace and physical locations for buying and selling used EVs. Ever's platform uses an AI-powered orchestration system that handles hundreds of workflows behind each transaction, from appraisals to titling. CEO Lasse-Mathias Nyberg claims this approach makes the sales team two to three times more productive than traditional retailers. Founded in 2022, Ever currently focuses exclusively on electric vehicles, though it hasn't ruled out expanding to combustion vehicles. Eclipse partner Jiten Behl, who spent eight years at Rivian, led the investment.
