ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Ford Fathom's $40,000 price point is a game-changer for the Australian electric vehicle market, making it an attractive option for customers who want to switch to an EV without breaking the bank

What it means for the order bank

The Fathom's bidirectional charging capability is a major selling point, and dealers should be prepared to highlight this feature to customers who are looking for a cost-effective way to power their homes

The built-in inverter is a key differentiator for the Fathom, as it eliminates the need for costly external equipment, making it a more affordable option for customers

Competitor response

Other manufacturers will need to respond to the Fathom's aggressive pricing and innovative technology, which could lead to a pricing war in the Australian EV market

Dealers should be prepared to compare the Fathom's features and pricing to other EVs in the market, and to highlight its unique selling points to customers

Taking action

This week, dealers can start training their sales staff on the Fathom's features and benefits, and prepare marketing materials that highlight its innovative charging technology and affordable price point
