Let’s take a closer look at how EV price trends are shifting, and explore how providing your customers with better tools to educate them on EVs could be the differentiator you need to increase EV sales.

What’s going on with the EV price war?

For some time now, the industry has been undercutting itself (starting with Tesla) by entering into a price war, instead of focusing on delivering a better product and explaining the benefits of electric vehicles to consumers.

However, it seems as though starting on April 16, 2024 Tesla may be finally backing off from the price war, and focusing on a better customer experience.

How can EV education lead to more sales and fewer discounts for your dealership?

EVs are a really great, new technology with strong incentives at the federal, state, utility and OEM levels. Also, they come with benefits for consumers, namely significant fuel savings when charging at home instead of paying for gas.

Our team looks though thousands of dealership Vehicle Detail Pages (VDPs) per week, and we rarely see all EV information presented clearly to consumers. Instead, consumers are required to do hours of research to find answers to simple questions that dealerships can answer!

Oftentimes, a federal tax incentive is not shown, or is shown strangely. Very rarely are state incentives shown, and almost never can a consumer find information on how much money they save on fuel throughout their ownership period.
