ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The 11 electric concepts and production models unveiled at the 2026 Paris Motor Show are a clear indication that European brands are taking the threat of Chinese EVs seriously

Competitor Response

The fact that brands like Renault, Alpine, and Peugeot are investing heavily in EV technology suggests that they are committed to defending their market share against Chinese newcomers

The showcase at the 2026 Paris Motor Show is not just about showcasing new models, but also about demonstrating the capabilities and expertise of European manufacturers in the EV space

Impact on Showroom Traffic

As European brands launch more EV models, Australian dealers can expect increased interest from customers who are looking for alternatives to Chinese EVs

The key for dealers will be to educate themselves and their staff on the features and benefits of the new European EV models, so they can effectively communicate the value proposition to customers

Action Plan

This week, dealers should review their current EV offerings and develop a plan to stay up-to-date with the latest models and technologies from European manufacturers, such as scheduling training sessions for staff on the new Renault and Peugeot models
