ADME commentary

The ADME angle

European EV sales are now a benchmark for Australian dealers to measure their own progress in the transition to electric vehicles, with at least six countries achieving around half of all new registrations being EVs.

This level of EV adoption in Europe will inevitably lead to increased competition in the Australian market as manufacturers look to replicate their European success.

What it means for stock and ordering

Australian dealers who fail to adapt to the growing demand for EVs will be left behind, with customers increasingly expecting a wide range of electric models to be available for purchase.

The fact that EVs are setting new records in a half dozen European countries suggests that Australian dealers should be preparing for a similar surge in demand, by ordering more EV stock and training staff to handle the expected increase in sales inquiries.

Competitor response and marketing

Dealers who are proactive in promoting their EV offerings and providing education to customers on the benefits of electric vehicles will be well-positioned to capture market share as the Australian EV market grows.

Australian dealers should be reviewing their marketing strategies to ensure they are effectively targeting customers who are interested in EVs, and providing them with the information they need to make an informed purchase decision.

Taking action

This week, dealers can take a decisive action by reviewing their current EV stock levels and placing orders for more electric models to ensure they are well-positioned to meet the expected increase in demand.
