September 19, 2024

As an auto dealer, you’re preparing to thrive in an EV-dominant market. You’re keen to reach the swiftly growing number of EV drivers and increase revenue while doing your part to safeguard our planet’s future.

And you know that when it comes to clean energy regulations, change will go in only one direction. So why haven’t you installed EV charging yet?

In this blog, discover the top 3 benefits of EV charging for dealerships and why with the right partner, there’s never been a better time to go all in.

1. Drive Sales and Enhance Service

If you want to sell more EVs and deliver superior service, you need EV charging stations. On-site EV charging transforms the buying experience, equipping your frontline sales staff with a powerful educational tool.

A hand-on on demonstration of Hypercharge’s modern and intuitive chargers highlights the ease and practicality of “refueling” at a charger, and can help customers overcome a final barrier to EV ownership.

EV charging also catches the eye of current EV owners who prioritize convenience and comprehensive services, promoting your business as a one-stop shop for all their EV needs.

And when you send customers home with a fully charged battery, you boost satisfaction and show how much you value their time.

Upgrading your dealership with EV charging:

N  Enriches the buying experience for customers

N  Creates incentives to visit your showroom and use your services

N  Promotes your dealership to EV drivers and the EV-curious

N  Supports your sales team with fully charged inventory, ready for test drives

N  Adds value and efficiency to service appointments

N  Knocks down barriers to EV ownership

2. Demonstrate Market Leadership 

EV customers expect dealerships to be ready to meet their needs.

With early adoption of EV charging, you’ll brand your business as a customer-focused, forward-thinking leader that’s forging ahead in a rapidly expanding EV market.

Adding charging services to your evolving business model also strengthens connections with existing and future customers, encourages customer loyalty, and introduces new revenue streams:

Pay-Per-Use Charging

Publicly available charging that attracts EV drivers to your dealership while expanding the EV charging network in your community.

Charging Subscriptions

Monthly fees for variable charging allowances, often incentivizing charging during off-peak hours.

Bundling with Purchase

Charging services bundled with vehicle purchases and servicing for added value.

3. Stay Ahead of OEM Requirements

Automakers want to ensure that dealerships can meet the demands of an electrified future and hold a strong position within the zero-carbon economy.

Complying with OEM EV charging mandates signals to automakers and customers that your dealership is a reliable, nimble partner that’s fully committed to its customers and the industry. 

OEM mandates typically include installing a minimum number of Level 2 and DC Fast chargers that meet precise technical requirements and are supported by sufficient electrical infrastructure.
