ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The opening of Perth's largest electric bus depot is a clear indication that the demand for electric vehicles is on the rise, and dealers should be prepared to meet this growing demand with their own EV offerings

What it means for stock and ordering

Dealers who stock a range of electric vehicles will be well-positioned to take advantage of this trend, and should consider ordering more EV models to meet the expected increase in demand

The fact that the depot has charging capacity for 132 buses suggests that the city is committed to supporting the adoption of electric vehicles, and dealers should be prepared to provide similar support to their customers

Competitor response and market share

Dealers who are slow to adapt to the growing demand for electric vehicles risk losing market share to their competitors, who are likely to be investing heavily in their own EV offerings

The growth of electric vehicles in Western Australia is likely to be driven by government and commercial fleets, such as the bus fleet supported by the new depot, and dealers should be targeting these customers with their marketing efforts

Taking action

This week, dealers can take a decisive action by reviewing their current EV stock and ordering levels, and making adjustments to ensure they are well-positioned to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles in the Australian market
