ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The installation of 50 new EV charging points at tourism destinations will increase the visibility and appeal of electric vehicles to potential buyers, driving more showroom traffic to dealerships that are prepared to showcase their EV offerings.

This increased traffic will be particularly beneficial for dealerships that have invested in EV training and education for their sales staff, allowing them to effectively communicate the benefits of EVs to customers.

What it means for stock and ordering

Dealerships should review their current EV stock levels and ordering strategies to ensure they are well-positioned to meet the growing demand for EVs, particularly in areas with high tourism traffic.

The state government's funding support for EV charging infrastructure will help to alleviate range anxiety, a common concern for potential EV buyers, and increase the attractiveness of EVs as a viable option for long-distance travel.

Competitor response and market dynamics

Dealerships that are slow to adapt to the growing demand for EVs risk being left behind by competitors who are better equipped to meet the needs of EV buyers, potentially losing market share and revenue.

To stay ahead of the competition, dealerships should focus on developing a comprehensive EV sales strategy, including training, marketing, and inventory management.

Taking action

This week, dealers can take a decisive action by reviewing their current EV sales strategy and identifying areas for improvement, such as providing additional training for sales staff or increasing EV inventory levels.
