ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The arrival of the Chery Q in the Australian market will put pressure on local dealers to review their pricing and margin strategies for small EVs

Competitor Landscape

Chinese brands like Chery are increasingly offering affordable and feature-packed EVs, which will force Australian dealers to rethink their product offerings and pricing

The Chery Q's focus on fun factor and space will appeal to a specific demographic, and dealers should be prepared to target this audience with tailored marketing and lead handling strategies

Showroom Traffic and Stock

Dealers who stock the Chery Q or similar models will need to be prepared for increased showroom traffic from budget-conscious buyers looking for affordable EV options

The low price point of the Chery Q will also impact stock ordering decisions, as dealers will need to balance inventory levels with demand for this type of vehicle

Action Plan

This week, dealers should review their current EV offerings and pricing strategies to identify potential gaps in the market that the Chery Q could fill, and consider reaching out to Chery or other Chinese brands to discuss potential partnerships or stock agreements
