Tips for Starting a Ev Vs Gas Business in Hawaii

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.
