ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The fact that Australian BEV sales have passed the 20% mark for two consecutive months is a clear indication that consumer appetite for electric vehicles is not slowing down, and dealers need to adjust their stock and ordering strategies accordingly

What it means for the order bank

Dealers who have not already done so should review their order banks to ensure they are adequately stocked with electric vehicles, particularly in the small car segment where demand is likely to be highest

The arrival of Geely's best-selling hatchback is a significant development, as it brings a new and potentially competitive player into the market, and dealers will need to be prepared to compare and contrast this model with other electric vehicles in the segment

Pricing and margin implications

Dealers should be prepared for potential pricing pressure as more electric vehicles enter the market, and should review their pricing strategies to ensure they remain competitive

The growing presence of Chinese brands in the Australian EV market is also likely to have implications for pricing and margin, as these brands are often able to offer competitive pricing due to lower production costs

Taking action

One decisive action dealers can take this week is to review their current stock and ordering strategies, and make adjustments as necessary to ensure they are well-positioned to meet growing demand for electric vehicles, particularly in the small car segment
