ADME commentary
The ADME angle
Skoda's EV strategy has a direct impact on the pricing of their petrol cars, as growing EV sales could offset the costs of NVES, allowing the brand to keep petrol cars on sale without passing on the costs to buyers.
This approach could give Skoda an edge in the market, as buyers may be deterred from purchasing petrol cars from other brands that do pass on NVES costs.
What it means for pricing and margin
Skoda's ability to absorb NVES costs through EV sales could lead to a pricing advantage, making their petrol cars more competitive in the market and potentially increasing sales volumes.
Competitor response and market dynamics
Other brands may need to reassess their pricing strategies in response to Skoda's approach, potentially leading to a market-wide adjustment in pricing and margin expectations.
Action for dealers
This week, dealers can review their current pricing and margin expectations for petrol cars and consider how Skoda's strategy may impact their sales and profitability, and adjust their marketing and sales strategies accordingly.
