Tips for Starting a Ev Vs Gas Business in Connecticut
- EV inventory allocation from manufacturers is tied to your state's ZEV mandate status. Dealers in ZEV states get more inventory. Period.
- Charging infrastructure in your area determines EV demand. Check PlugShare for the local charging density before stocking inventory.
- Used EV margins are volatile. Battery degradation concerns suppress resale values unpredictably. Factor in extended warranty costs.
- Service revenue per EV is 30-40% lower than gas vehicles. Fewer parts, fewer oil changes. Your service department model needs adjusting.
- The median income here is $130,036. That gives you pricing room most markets don't offer. Don't underprice.
