ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The fact that 97 per cent of private buyers in Denmark are opting for electric cars has significant implications for the long-term viability of traditional petrol-powered vehicles in Australia

What it means for stock and ordering

Denmark's high EV adoption rate suggests that Australian dealers should be preparing for a potential shift in consumer demand, and adjusting their stock and ordering accordingly to avoid being left with unsold petrol-powered vehicles

Competitor response and market share

The success of EVs in Denmark is likely to prompt a response from competitors in the Australian market, with other manufacturers potentially increasing their EV offerings to remain competitive, which could lead to a decrease in market share for dealers who are slow to adapt

Pricing and margin implications

The high demand for EVs in Denmark may also lead to increased competition and downward pressure on prices, which could impact the margins of Australian dealers if they are not able to adapt their pricing strategies to remain competitive

The key to success in this new market will be the ability to offer a range of EV options and to have a deep understanding of the needs and preferences of EV buyers, which will require significant investment in staff training and marketing

One decisive action Australian dealers could take this week is to review their current stock and ordering processes to ensure they are prepared for a potential increase in demand for EVs, and to begin developing a strategy for marketing and selling EVs to Australian consumers
