Frequently asked questions
Electric vehicles can sometimes feel harder for dealers to sell, often because there’s a perception that the finance process works differently compared to traditional petrol and diesel vehicles. In reality, while EVs can present new conversations around charging, range and battery life, customer demand continues to grow as more drivers consider electric cars for their next vehicle. With the right knowledge and finance options in place, many dealers are successfully selling EVs alongside traditional vehicles. In fact, our data suggests the biggest barrier for dealers isn’t demand – it’s confidence. Explore our EV one-pager, which shares real insights and helps dispel some of the most common dealer concerns around stocking and selling EVs.

Understanding how this policy may influence supply and demand can help dealers prepare their stock strategy. Our guide explains what the ZEV mandate means for used car dealers.
Customer interest in EVs is growing, but many independent dealers don’t feel prepared for them.
