I'd be interested in seeing the data you refer to that shows that most GM dealers try to avoid selling EVs. Also, I can see the logic behind your argument that the reasons include the amount if time to sell, and lower profit, but can't see how service revenue to dealership would impact a salesperson's efforts to sell an EV.

The data from the last few years clearly shows that most of their dealers try to avoid selling EVs. I expect they always will for reasons stated over and over: more time consuming for sales people to sell, less profit per car, and no steady income from servicing. Servicing is very lucrative for dealers because they charge ridiculous prices for both parts and service. The manufacturers also make more per ICE car sold. All the motivation is to NOT sell EVs. Dealers are THE reason I will never buy a new EV, other than possibly a Tesla, and have never bought a new ICE. I'd rather just get another battery pack for my conversion when the present one starts dying. I've hardly had to do anything to it the last several years, just drive and charge mostly. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Re-EVLN-Why-Nissan-sez-it-is-Tesla-3-Stoked-tp4681455p4681473.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
