ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The success of this trial could lead to increased demand for EVs with vehicle-to-grid capability, potentially driving showroom traffic and sales for dealers who stock these models.

What it means for stock and ordering

Dealers who prepare for this potential shift by stocking EVs with vehicle-to-grid technology may gain a competitive advantage, as they will be able to offer customers a unique value proposition.

The ability to earn money while parked could also impact pricing and margin, as dealers may need to factor in the potential revenue streams when determining vehicle prices.

Competitor response and marketing

Competitors who fail to adapt to this new technology may be left behind, as customers increasingly expect dealers to offer the latest and most innovative features.

Dealers who effectively market and promote their EVs with vehicle-to-grid capability may be able to attract new customers and increase sales.

Taking action

This week, dealers can take the first step by researching the vehicle-to-grid technology and its potential applications, and considering how they can incorporate it into their sales and marketing strategies.
