ADME commentary
The ADME angle
Hyundai's focus on extended range hybrids in the near term will likely lead to a surge in customer inquiries about these models, putting pressure on dealers to have knowledgeable staff and adequate stock levels.
What it means for the order bank
Dealers who fail to prepare for the increased demand for extended range hybrids risk losing sales to competitors who are better equipped to handle customer inquiries.
The introduction of new EVs will also impact the market, but the extended range hybrids are likely to be more appealing to a wider range of customers due to their balance of range and price.
Competitor response
Other manufacturers, such as Toyota and Ford, will likely respond to Hyundai's move by accelerating their own hybrid and EV plans, leading to increased competition in the market.
Dealers should be prepared to compare and contrast the different models and technologies to help customers make informed decisions.
Taking action
This week, dealers should review their current stock levels and staffing to ensure they are prepared to handle the expected increase in customer inquiries about extended range hybrids and EVs.
