ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Australian dealers can expect increased demand for EVs and hybrids as the government embraces alternative charging solutions, which will likely lead to more showroom traffic and potential sales.

The current lack of fast chargers is often cited as a barrier to EV adoption, but the introduction of street pole chargers and gully charging could alleviate this concern and make EVs more appealing to a wider range of customers.

Charging Infrastructure Expansion

The expansion of charging infrastructure, including street pole chargers and gully charging, will be crucial in supporting the growth of the EV market in Australia, and dealers should be prepared to educate customers on these new charging options.

Dealers who are proactive in promoting and supporting these alternative charging solutions will be well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for EVs and hybrids.

Competitive Advantage

By embracing and promoting alternative charging solutions, dealers can differentiate themselves from competitors and establish a reputation as a leader in the EV market.

Dealers should focus on developing a comprehensive understanding of the various charging options available and be prepared to provide customers with detailed information and support.

Action Plan

This week, dealers can take the decisive action of contacting their local government representatives to express support for the expansion of alternative charging infrastructure, such as street pole chargers and gully charging, and to offer their expertise and resources in promoting these solutions to customers.
