ADME commentary

The ADME angle

A $95 home EV charger is a game-changer for southeast Queensland households, making EV ownership more accessible and increasing demand for electric vehicles.

Impact on Sales

Dealers in southeast Queensland can expect an increase in foot traffic and inquiries about EVs, driven by the affordability of home charging systems, which will now be a major selling point.

The federal government scheme offering discounts of up to $1100 on home EV charging systems will lead to a surge in EV sales, as the cost of ownership becomes more comparable to traditional petrol-powered vehicles.

Competitor Response

Competitors who fail to adapt to the new pricing reality of home EV chargers will struggle to remain competitive, as customers will be drawn to dealerships that can offer the most comprehensive and affordable EV solutions.

Dealers who proactively promote the discounted home EV chargers will gain a competitive edge, attracting price-sensitive customers who are eager to take advantage of the federal government scheme.

Action Plan

Dealers can capitalize on this opportunity by training their sales staff to effectively communicate the benefits of the discounted home EV chargers and offering bundled packages that include the charger and an EV, providing a one-stop solution for customers.

This week, dealers can take decisive action by contacting their OEM representatives to discuss how to promote the discounted home EV chargers and ensure they have a sufficient stock of EVs to meet the anticipated increase in demand.
