ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The new strata legislation effectively removes a significant barrier to EV adoption in Australia, which is the lack of charging infrastructure in apartment buildings

What it means for EV sales

With the 'right to charge' now enshrined in legislation, Australian dealers can expect a surge in interest in EVs from apartment dwellers who were previously deterred by charging concerns

This change will have a direct impact on showroom traffic, as potential buyers who were previously put off by charging limitations will now be more likely to visit dealerships and explore EV options

The increased demand for EVs will also impact stock and ordering, as dealers will need to ensure they have a sufficient supply of EV models to meet the growing demand

Impact on competitor response

Competitors who are slow to adapt to the changing market and fail to stock a range of EV models will be left behind, as consumers increasingly expect to see EV options on dealership lots

Dealers who are proactive in responding to the changing market will be well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for EVs and increase their market share

Taking action

This week, dealers can take the decisive action of reviewing their current EV stock and ordering levels to ensure they are prepared to meet the expected surge in demand, and consider investing in EV charging infrastructure for their dealership to cater to the growing number of EV owners
