ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The reduction of incentives in overseas markets like Germany and Canada has led to a decline in electric-car sales, which could be a warning sign for the Australian market

What it means for pricing

The arrival of cheaper EVs in the Australian market could help cushion the impact of FBT changes, but dealers need to be strategic about their pricing to remain competitive

Dealers should closely monitor the sales trends of EVs in other markets and adjust their pricing and marketing strategies to mitigate any potential decline in sales

Competitor response

Competitors who are quick to respond to the changing market conditions and adjust their pricing and marketing strategies will be better positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for EVs

The key to success will be to balance the need to remain competitive on price with the need to maintain profit margins, which will require careful planning and execution

Taking action

This week, dealers can start by reviewing their current EV pricing and marketing strategies and making adjustments to ensure they are well-positioned to respond to the changing market conditions
