As the automotive sector continues to move toward greater levels of electrification, automotive dealers have emerged as key players in the transition. This report seeks to share dealerships’ experiences and outlooks on electric vehicles (EVs) by describing key takeaways from interviews Atlas Public Policy (Atlas) conducted with seven dealers across four states. The goal is to understand and identify solutions that could improve both consumer and dealer experiences with EVs. Atlas asked interviewees about their experiences so far with EVs; what they see as challenges or opportunities related to EVs; and what, if any, resources, policies, or programs would help support them as EV adoption increases.
