ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The 86% increase in Tesla and Polestar deliveries is a clear indication that Australian consumers are embracing electric vehicles at an unprecedented rate

What it means for the market

This surge in demand is likely to put pressure on other manufacturers to accelerate their own EV plans, potentially leading to a flood of new models entering the market

Tesla's dominance in the EV space is well-established, but Polestar's growth is a significant factor in this increase, suggesting that consumers are looking for alternative premium EV options

Competitor response and pricing

As more manufacturers enter the EV market, pricing and margin pressures are likely to increase, making it essential for dealers to review their pricing strategies and ensure they remain competitive

The growth of EV sales will also impact showroom traffic, with consumers increasingly expecting to see a range of EV options available for test drives and purchase

Action required

This week, dealers should review their current EV stock and ordering processes to ensure they can meet growing demand and stay ahead of the competition by considering additional EV models and training for sales staff
