ADME commentary
The ADME angle
Australian dealers selling MG, XPeng, and Audi EVs can now offer smart charging solutions to their customers, which could be a key differentiator in a competitive market.
The expansion of smart charging tech to these three brands suggests that Amber is committed to supporting the growth of EVs in Australia, which could lead to increased demand for these models.
What it means for the order bank
Dealers who stock MG, XPeng, and Audi EVs may see an increase in sales as a result of the smart charging offering, particularly if they can effectively communicate the benefits of this technology to their customers.
The fact that Amber has not yet announced which car makers will participate in its V2G trial suggests that there may be opportunities for dealers to partner with other companies to offer similar solutions, potentially gaining a competitive advantage.
Competitor response
Other dealers who do not offer smart charging solutions may be at a disadvantage, particularly if they are selling EVs from brands that do not have a similar offering, such as some Chinese brands.
Dealers who want to stay ahead of the competition should consider partnering with companies like Amber to offer smart charging solutions to their customers, which could help to drive sales and increase customer satisfaction.
Taking action
This week, dealers selling MG, XPeng, and Audi EVs should contact Amber to learn more about its smart charging tech offering and how they can start offering it to their customers.
