ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Hyundai's decision to scrap the Ioniq 3 Australian launch is a clear indication that the brand is re-evaluating its EV strategy in the local market, and this move will have a direct impact on the competitive landscape.

What it means for the order bank

The absence of the Ioniq 3 from Hyundai's Australian lineup means that dealers will need to focus on other EV models to meet growing demand, and Honda's new Super-One electric could be a key competitor in this space.

The fact that EVs are outselling petrol cars again in September's sales figures suggests that Australian buyers are increasingly embracing electric vehicles, and dealers need to be prepared to meet this shift in demand.

Competitor response and market dynamics

Honda's entry into the EV market with the Super-One electric will likely put pressure on other brands, including Hyundai, to review their EV offerings and pricing strategies in order to remain competitive.

Dealers should be prepared to handle a potential increase in inquiries and sales of EV models, and to provide customers with accurate information and comparisons between different EV models.

Taking action

This week, dealers can take a decisive action by reviewing their current EV stock and ordering levels, and considering whether they need to adjust their inventory to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles.
