WANT TO BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR FROM YOUR DEALERSHIP? YOU MIGHT GET NADA

EV Channels Review

This video delves into the complex relationship between auto dealerships and electric vehicles, particularly in light of rising anti-EV rhetoric. While acknowledging that not all dealerships are anti-EV, the presenter highlights significant resistance from organizations like NADA and individual dealers. This opposition is often fueled by financial concerns, as selling EVs requires investment in training and equipment, and potentially leads to reduced after-sales service revenue. The video contrasts this with the reality of increasing EV sales, debunking claims of low demand. A key takeaway is the lack of adequate training for dealership staff, which hinders informed consumer purchasing decisions, drawing parallels to the early days of personal computing. Despite the prevailing anti-EV sentiment from some NADA officials, the announcement of a new nationwide EV training program for NADA members offers a glimmer of hope for a more informed and supportive EV sales environment.
