- California non pretrolium zero emission no sales 2035
- Start working on hybrids- EV is a hybrid without a gas motor
- What are the service opportunities on EVs? Preventative maintenance package, component replacement, and programming.
- Where will you plug your car in? At home? Infrastructure?
- Staying in contact with customers on a consistent basis will be more important than it is now- visit per customer dropping but ARO going up
- Range anxiety
- Fleet average age 12 years old
- Train service advisors- learn the language, get the trust of the EV customers
- As a shop, if you're not working on hybrids now, you need to start. You need to learn it. You need to get that training because an EV is simply a hybrid without a gas motor for all intents and purposes. If you understand and have experience with the hybrid aspects, the electric side of hybrid vehicles, EVs will just come naturally.
