How it works

Test drive from your home

Have electric vehicles that you’re interested in delivered straight to your door for test drives.

(Participating locations only)

Our experts negotiate for you

Once you decide on a car you like, we’ll negotiate with local dealers to get you the best possible price, saving you time and money.

Sign the paperwork in your slippers

Okay, so you don’t need to wear slippers, but you also don’t need to find a ride to the dealership! Buy from the comfort of your home and have your car delivered to you.

The right charger, installed automatically

We take the guesswork out of picking the right charger and finding a reliable electrician to install it. Our network of licensed and EV-qualified electricians will get you hooked up in no time.

Incentive paperwork taken care of

Between utility, county, state, and federal incentives, it's challenging to know what incentives are out there and which you qualify for. Don’t leave any money on the table, and don’t waste time by having Swing fill out the paperwork.

Get the cheapest electricity possible

Driving on electricity costs 2-4x less than driving on gasoline, but the exact amount depends on your utility rates and what special prices are offered to EV owners. We simulate your electricity usage with your new car and pick the rate that will save you the most money.

Learn why commuters love driving electric

Our service, on average saves customers 10 hours and 41* headaches. So what's the price?

$199

We started Swing because the extra steps with buying EV's shouldn't intimidate us from adopting a cleaner transportation system. We charge as little as possible because as a Public Benefit Corporation, our shareholders measure the carbon reductions of the EV's we get you driving, not just our revenue.

*Number of headaches not actually measured, but peace of mind is

FAQ

Where do the cars that Swing sells come from?

Swing only coordinates test drives and purchases but doesn't own any inventory. All vehicles are owned and sold by licensed dealers in your area.

How does Swing make money?

In addition to the $199 service fee we charge our clients, Swing is paid a flat lead fee by car dealers. Swing is also paid a small, flat lead fee from the electricians who install chargers. Our flat fees incentivize us to get you the right car and equipment, not the most expensive.

I know I want an electric vehicle but I don't know which one to get. Can you help me figure that out?

Absolutely! Our electric vehicle experts routinely help people pick the optimal electric vehicle for their transportation and budget needs.

Do I need to pay Swing if I don't end up buying an electric car or charger?

No, if you decide that now is not the right time, we won't charge you anything.

Do I need a charger? Which charger should I get? How much will it cost?

Whether or not you need a charger (and which kind) depends heavily on which electric vehicle you buy and your driving habits. Swing uses software to determine the best match, if any, for you. If you can get by without a level 2 charger, we won't recommend you buy one. A level 2 charger typically costs $300-$600 and installation can cost anywhere from $500 to $2000 depending on your residence.

Can you help me buy a used electric car?

We currently only provide our service for new vehicles. We recommend you try www.shift.com for an excellent service finding used vehicles.

I already have an electric vehicle but can you help me with installing a charger, applying for incentives, or picking the cheapest electricity rate?

Yes, we're happy to help you with any of our services. We still charge a flat $199 for any subset of our services.

My residence is in a multi-unit building or part of a Homeowner's Association. Can you help me get a charger installed?

Potentially, but please note that these types of installations are usually complex and relatively expensive. The exact cost depends on the layout of your garage, parking space, and electrical meter. Get in touch to learn more.
