ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The success of this trial could lead to increased demand for EVs with vehicle-to-grid capability, potentially disrupting the current market dynamics.

What it means for stock and ordering

Dealers who stock EVs with vehicle-to-grid technology may see an increase in sales, particularly among government and commercial fleets.

The ability to earn money while parked could be a major selling point for EVs, allowing dealers to promote this feature to customers.

Competitor response and market dynamics

Competitors who do not offer vehicle-to-grid technology may be at a disadvantage, as customers increasingly look for ways to offset the cost of EV ownership.

Dealers who adapt quickly to this new technology will be well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for EVs.

Taking action

This week, dealers can start researching vehicle-to-grid technology and its potential applications, and consider reaching out to OEMs to discuss how to incorporate this technology into their product offerings.
