ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The battery health of used EVs is a major concern for potential buyers, and this new study of over 500,000 vehicles could help alleviate those concerns and increase demand for used EVs in Australian showrooms.

This increased demand could lead to a surge in showroom traffic, as buyers who were previously hesitant to purchase a used EV due to battery health concerns now feel more confident in their purchasing decision.

What it means for stock and ordering

Dealers who stock a wide range of used EVs could see a significant increase in sales, particularly if they can provide detailed information about the battery health of each vehicle, which could become a major selling point.

This could also lead to changes in the types of EVs that dealers choose to stock, with a focus on models that have been shown to have excellent battery health, such as those from established manufacturers.

Pricing and margin considerations

As demand for used EVs increases, dealers may be able to maintain or even increase their prices, which could lead to higher margins and increased profitability.

However, dealers will need to balance this with the need to remain competitive, particularly if other dealerships in the area are also stocking used EVs and competing for the same customers.

Taking action

This week, dealers could take the decisive action of reviewing their current stock of used EVs and ensuring that they have access to detailed information about the battery health of each vehicle, in order to capitalize on the increased demand and provide customers with the confidence they need to make a purchase.
