Take Advantage of this Evolution

R
egardless of how we personally feel about driving
an Electric Vehicle (EV), they continue to
make waves in our industry, our society, and the
future of transportation. With continuing debates on
the viability and adaptability of EVs, no one is spared
when it comes to impact. Everyone in our industry will
experience the effects of this shift.
EVs WILL CREATE A DISRUPTION
Automotive dealerships are on the front lines for EVs
as commitments from the manufacturers continue to
increase. According to McKinsey & Company, EV sales
are fueled by additional investments from the current
administration. Billions of dollars in federal funding are
on the table for battery factories and
other EV projects.
Here in the United States, 2024
adoption is slow but not absent.
In 2023, Kelly Blue Book estimated
1.4 million EV units accounted
for 7.6% of all new vehicles sold, up
30
from 5.9% in 2022. Although at this point in time, the
amount is less than significant and the future looks uncertain,
EVs will create a disruption. S&P Global Mobility
expects 159 new EV nameplates by the end of 2025,
more than triple today's total of 48.
We know technology, charging infrastructure, and service
capabilities are huge factors impacting the overall
acceptance of EVs. On the flipside, there are factors
consumers find very favorable. Similar to the evolution
of smartphones, EVs can receive over-the-air updates
as well as driving preference and personalization options,
naturally giving EVs an advantage with the desirable
option for car buyers.
Everyone in our
industry will
experience the effects
of this shift.
EV DEALER IMPACT
Dealers have major opportunities
with alternative-powered vehicles
regardless of the adoption challenges
ahead. According to Cox
Automotive, consumers who adopt
EVs go back to the dealership more
