ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Electric vehicles have reached a critical mass in suburban areas, which means dealers must now focus on stocking and promoting EV models that appeal to family buyers and commuters.

The Suburban EV Market

Dealers who fail to adapt to the accelerating demand for EVs in the suburbs risk losing market share to competitors who are better prepared to meet the needs of these buyers.

The lack of electric trucks is a significant gap in the market that dealers should be lobbying manufacturers to address, given the popularity of traditional trucks in Australian suburbs.

Charging Infrastructure

The rapid growth of EV sales every 100 seconds underscores the need for dealers to invest in on-site charging infrastructure to support test drives and after-sales service.

Dealers should also be working with local governments and charging network providers to promote the development of public charging stations in suburban areas.

Taking Action

This week, dealers can take a decisive step by reviewing their current EV stock and ordering more models that are in high demand, such as those with long-range batteries and family-friendly features.
