ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The fact that a privately-funded ultra-fast EV charger has been successfully installed in Australia is a stark reminder that government support is not the only factor driving EV adoption

What it means for the market

Private investment in EV infrastructure can have a significant impact on the market, particularly in terms of increasing consumer confidence in the viability of EVs as a practical option

The success of this project could lead to increased demand for EVs, which would be a boon for dealers who have invested in EV stock and training

Competitor response

Dealers should be aware that their competitors may be more likely to invest in EV technology and infrastructure in response to this development, which could lead to a competitive advantage for those who are slow to adapt

The fact that this is an Australian-first installation suggests that there may be opportunities for dealers to establish themselves as leaders in the EV market

Taking action

One decisive action a dealer could take this week is to review their current EV stock and infrastructure, and consider investing in additional training and technology to support the growing demand for EVs
