Podcasts about dealers

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It's Sunday 22nd May, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. RAJEEV NARAYAN I think the best way to educate people about EVs depends on where you are. Here in Texas I find that EVs have unfortunately become political, and so the amount of "EV Hate" I see has only gotten worse. A friend of mine had his Model S run off the road by a pickup truck. People decide what your political affiliations might be based on all sorts of things, what car you drive, even if you are seen wearing a mask. Back in 2017, it was easier, and people were more receptive, now not so much. So now, at least for where I live, I think the best way is to invite them for a ride in my Model Y. The acceleration, and quiet smooth ride, goes a long way towards changing minds. I also have to be tactful in what arguments to use. For example, for me, climate change, deaths from fossil fuel particulate matter, expensive fossil fuel subsidies and supporting certain petrostates are all big reasons for EVs, but for some of my more right wing colleagues, I might tout the lower operating costs and ability to charge at home. I am hoping things are different in England and the rest of Europe.  CHRISTOPHER LAWRENCE Of course one way to get others, especially family members, into the EV fold is with duct tape.  First catch a family member - usually with food or beverage; then restrain them (remember we started with duct tape); attache a small rechargeable (so you don't need a bunch of batteries - that would be bad for the environment and deprive EV batteries of space in the landfill) speaker to their head (duct tape is a common theme here); connect them to the EV News Daily podcast and off you go.  After fourteen hundred and seventy-one odd episodes feel free to release the family member back into the wild, it's as simple as that.  This method has a nifty side benefit of knowing you will not need to worry about exchanging those quirky holiday cards. Or if for some reason you feel compelled to hoard your precious duct tape then simply let them drive your EV.  It worked for my wife and I.  Back in June of 2021 we were able to enjoy a weekend test drive of a Ford Mach-E.  What a fascinating experience.  By October, after driving an ID4 and a Model Y, we ordered a Model Y to replace our 2013 Ford Escape . . .  and we are s t i l l  w a i t i n g . .   JODI IN ARIZONA The best way to educate people is to let them drive the cars themselves. I don't think there' any better way of showing how awesome the experince is Dorothy in Oregon Thank you for your podcast. The best way is to be respectful that many people don't like their beliefs questioned. Lots of us have grown up with gas cars and don't want to be TOLD what we're driving next. But like myeslf, when everyone finds out at their own pace, there's no reason to have an issue with EVs. DOUG in Port Zetta, Mississippi The benefits of driving electric cars are clear. We need to start and end with the benefits. Anything else is just noise for most people. They need to know the benefit to their life or bank balance. Harriet from Delaware OUt of date perceptions are something which we really must challenge. EVs go farther, and cost less money, that I think many fellow americans realise. Because researching a car is not their priority people either think the technology hasn't moved on since the last EV they saw, like a Leaf, or head about Tesla selling hundred grand cars. Morgan from West Kasey / New Hampshire Charging and range are surely the biggest issues? People think they need a car which does more miles than they really need. And most people I talk to are intimidated by the electrical work required at their house.  Filip / Netherlands I think we need to tell people there's more than just Tesla. Elon Musk this week has gone on a total meltdown on Twitter and that means all the news articles are about what he said. But whenever that happens, they always mention Tesla and electric cars, which further reinforces them as the only name people hear about with EVs. Dealers and established car makers should do more to push EVs. QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM Back tomorrow with Blake!

What does the recreational boating industry look like right now from the perspective of someone who deals with dozens of dealers on a daily basis? That's what we wanted to know, so we asked Myril Shaw, COO of Dealer Profit Services, a full-service F&I and compliance services company, to join host David Gee for this Boating Industry Insider podcast episode. The two talk about some of the challenges facing dealers - and the industry - including keeping those hundreds of thousands of first-time boat buyers happy. Dealer Profit Services also returns as a sponsor of the Boating Industry ELEVATE Summit Conference and Top 100, and they discuss that as well.

Welkom allemaal bij deze speciale bonuspodcast met Brian Pasch. In deze eerste bonuspodcast vertelt Brian over de toekomst van automotive retail, veranderingen in fysieke en online retail en hoe autobedrijven zich hierop kunnen voorbereiden. Unieke ontwikkelingen“Op dit moment zijn er een aantal unieke ontwikkelingen in de internationale auto-industrie. In de sector ontstaat een ‘nieuw normaal' door factoren zoals stijgende occasionprijzen, kortere statijden en een tekort aan nieuwe auto's. In de Verenigde Staten worden nieuwe auto's momenteel regelmatig boven de adviesprijs verkocht. Tegelijkertijd stappen meer autofabrikanten in de verkoop van gebruikte auto's met eigen occasionlabels en eigen end-to-end online occasionplatforms. Dat is een uitdaging voor dealerholdings die verschillende merken vertegenwoordigen. Hoe integreer je alle verschillende platforms? De transitie naar elektrische auto's roept ook nieuwe vragen op. Kan een dealer geld verdienen aan over-the-air updates van de fabrikant?”Nieuwe concurrentie“Op het gebied van online retail drukken fabrikanten een stempel op de verkoopprocessen van dealers. Een goede relatie tussen een fabrikant en een retailer is gebaseerd op vertrouwen. Toch zijn er vraagtekens te plaatsen bij bepaalde ontwikkelingen. Het agentuurmodel is bedoeld om de distributiekosten te verlagen. Maar wat gebeurt er als een fabrikant jou aanstelt als agent en tegelijkertijd met je concurreert met de verkoop van gebruikte auto's? Grote techbedrijven richten zich ook op het faciliteren van autoverkoop. In de V.S. toont GoogleMyBusiness de ‘live' voorraad van een autobedrijf bovenaan de zoekresultaten, boven de zoekresultaten van autoportals of de eigen website van het autobedrijf. Ook Facebook Marketplace heeft invloed op de manier waarop autobedrijven online retailen.”Bedreiging of kans?“Als we de automotive retail willen veranderen en verbeteren, dan moeten ons openstellen voor kritiek. Leren doe je het meest van fouten. Maar toegeven dat je fout zit is moeilijk. Dealers en dealerholdings denken vaak binair. Dus: het is dit of het is dat. Bij veranderingen kan je jezelf kritisch opstellen en je er tegen verzetten. Je kan ook denken: wat zijn de voordelen en wat heb ik er aan? Veel dealers voelen zich bedreigd door fabrikanten. Bijvoorbeeld door de invoering van nieuwe online retailplatforms. Terwijl sommige ogenschijnlijke bedreigingen in werkelijkheid nieuwe kansen kunnen zijn.”Luisteraars bedankt voor het volgen van de eerste bonuspodcast met Brian Pasch. Binnenkort volgt de tweede bonuspodcast waarin Brian onder meer vertelt over de invloed van Tesla op automotive retail en dealernetwerken.

Downtime is the enemy of fleets everywhere–a tire problem while on the road is a cog in the supply chain wheel, so to speak. Luckily, independent tire dealers and their teams act as the “superhero” when it comes to responding to service calls in a timely manner. Yet, while on the side of the road, your teams need to be equipped with not only the proper tools, but also the right training to protect themselves and successfully service the out-of-commission wheel assemblies.That's why learning proper tire service techniques is so important, whether your techs are out in the field or in the shop. In this episode of What's Treading with Tire Review, presented by AAPEX 2022, Russ Devens, director of safety and risk management for McCarthy Tire Service, explains the training and techniques independent tire dealers must provide their technicians and how training can remain top of mind at the shop. Russ dives into:- Three common safety mistakes when technicians are called to service a commercial tire (0:56)- The importance of site assessment during a commercial tire service call (4:13)- Equipment and resources that dealers should be giving their commercial tire service technicians (7:31)- The dangers of complacency with commercial tire technicians and how dealers can handle this on their staff (10:51)- Best practices for forming relationships with the fleet/driver when on a service call (13:09)Listen to this episode here or subscribe to What's Treading with Tire Review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whats-treading-with-tire-review/id1470309726Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1GA3lp6AFo7V7EEG5awHaEGoogle Podcasts: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Iv76bs6re7unom4p76myj3cakhmYou can watch the video version of this podcast on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rYE1NOtnlw&list=PLVkqUUE022sdAVQ6DuHU8cxd3FS2ni9vA

* EP STARTS AT MIN 11 The Xalisco Boys are a group of business minded heroin peddlers from the town of Xalisco in the state of Nayarit. Not so much a cartel as a business strategy, the Xalisco Boys pioneered a new method of profiting in the drug trafficking world: delivery. In what is perhaps the darkest form of laissez faire, by acting as both the source and the mobile storefront the Xalisco Boys were able to quickly expand across America, using basic marketing strategies to become what many addicts have called “the best dealers they'd ever seen.” Unfortunately, their rise also coincided with the beginning of the opioid epidemic, and what resulted was a dangerous self-replicating style of retail drug trafficking, operating on a national scale from an individual level.

As the walls close in on the Kinahan's one of the questions being asked is if they will still have access to the vast amounts of cocaine provided by the Colombians. The answer is, yes.

HYUNDAI TO BUILD NEW U.S. EV & BATTERY ASSEMBLY PLANT Hyundai Motor Co. will build an assembly plant in the U.S. for electric vehicles and batteries, COO Jose Muñoz said Wednesday at the New York International Auto Show. The new plant is part of Hyundai Motor Group's $7.4 billion investment plan for the U.S. to produce EVs, upgrade factories and develop smart mobility technologies. The company hopes to choose a location for the dedicated EV plant this year, Muñoz said. The hybrid Santa Fe will be the company's first electrified model assembled in the U.S. when it goes into production in October. That's at the Montgomery, Alabama plant.

The proposal also calls for zero-emissions sales to account for 68% of total sales by 2030. - The board is expected to vote on the proposal in August.

Today we hear the Combat Story of Travis Norby, who commanded a mechanized infantry company in Iraq early in the war. [NOTE: We're launching on Patreon NEXT WEEK. Register to get notified at https://www.combatstory.com/patreon] Travis is a long-time Combat Story listener who reached out to see if his non-special ops story would be worth our listener's time. As many of our most dedicated listeners know, as you write to me about this, we get many requests to share the stories of conventional soldiers and officers and what life was like for them while the Tier 1 and 2 units were running raids at night. This combat story delivers on what I believe is a very common experience for so many infantry officers in terms of how you lose soldiers and still show up, how you motivate people to keep going in the face of unending days of attacks, and how you lead with the soldier in mind and not your own career advancement. Travis' stories of leadership and loss give us unique insight into the world of an Infantry officer fighting in the post-9/11 era and I hope you enjoy this raw and very real Combat Story as much as we did.

This week on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley, CSP and L.A. Williams discuss solutions to low inventory. How should dealerships handle selling cars in a climate with no inventory? There are many opportunities to increase inventory and sell more cars than ever before.  Sean and L.A. breakdown a few options for increasing inventory. Dealerships have to be willing to do whatever they can to create an inventory abundance. Does the dealership have a vehicle buying center, also known as a VBC? If not, ask why? Instead of only selling cars and hoping for inventory to appear, try buying cars! Network with local dealerships of all types. Most customers are trading in a vehicle when purchasing a new one.  Auctions are a great resource, but remember - the car goes to the highest bidder and that's before any additional auction fees. The point is to get GREAT at selling used cars. Become a used car powerhouse and watch sales boom. Exhaust every option because there is always a way. Does your dealership offer used car leases? If not, why not?  Customers come to the dealership with a vehicle in mind and in today's climate, it may not be in stock. The first step should be to not panic. Check the inventory and try to sell what you have in stock. Second step, if the vehicle is not in stock be prepared with vehicles in stock that are similar. Sales personnel should be able to ask why the customer is looking for that specific vehicle and show the customer other options that may meet their needs.  If you are still unsure, go to the Millionaire Car Salesman group on Facebook and SEE what sales personnel are doing across the world! The group was created for authenticity in the industry and has approximately 23,000 members who share their victories and successes as well as their questions.    About Sean V. Bradley  Sean V.

Show #1398 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of information. It's Tuesday 8th March, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. FORD DEALERS WILL FINALLY BE FORCED TO LEARN ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES - In the wake of the decision to split its EV and gasoline vehicle divisions, Ford has announced that its dealers will need to "opt-in" to selling EVs along with normal combustion cars, according to Automotive News. - While the company has no apparent plans to create new dealers or work outside its network of roughly 3,100 existing retail stores, Ford CEO Jim Farley said in an interview that dealers should "get ready to specialize." - Dealers that currently sell the Mustang Mach-E, E-Transit, and are anticipating inventory of the new F-150 Lightning can continue selling them for the next year and a half. - The new dealer agreement isn't finalized yet, but Ford executives have made clear they hope for a no-inventory, direct-order model, as well as non-negotiable pricing and smaller facilities for dealers. - Tesla, one of Ford's main EV competitors, works off of a direct sale model, which Farley estimates helps Tesla save almost $2,000 per vehicle. But he added that "not everything can be done remote" and that Ford still understands the importance of brick-and-mortar dealerships in customer satisfaction. Original Source : https://www.thedrive.com/news/44619/ford-dealers-will-finally-be-forced-to-learn-about-electric-vehicles NUMEROUS FORD MUSTANG MACH-E TRIMS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE ORDERED - Ford has reportedly stopped taking orders for two Mustang Mach-E trims due to excessive demand. According to Ford Authority, who site sources "familiar with the matter", the Blue Oval will not take any new orders for Premium and California Route 1 trim levels for the remained of the 2022 model year. - Mach-E buyers will only be able to get the Extended Range battery by buying the $61,995 GT. The Select trim only comes with the Standard Range pack, although you can get it in either RWD or AWD guise. - The ongoing semiconductor shortage likely played a key role in Ford's decision. The marque has already experienced production issues this year. Last month Mach-E production was temporarily halted due to supply chain issues. Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/571729/mach-e-trims-not-available GM ANNOUNCES $400 MILLION EV BATTERY MATERIALS PLANT IN CANADA - General Motors and South Korea's POSCO Chemical announced plans to build a new EV battery materials plant in Quebec, Canada. - The two parties said they are working with the governments of Canada and Quebec to build a new facility that will produce cathode active material (CAM), with the investment estimated at $400 million (C$500 million). - The cathode active material produced at the new plant will go into GM's Ultium batteries, which will power electric vehicles such as the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq. CAM is a key battery material consisting of components like processed nickel, lithium and other materials making up about 40% of the cost of a battery cell. - By the end of 2025, GM plans to have capacity to build 1 million electric vehicles in North America. The company targets the majority of components by value to be sustainably sourced, processed or manufactured in North America. Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/571967/gm-announces-400million-battery-materials-plant-canada/ NICKEL PRICE SURGE COULD THREATEN AUTOMAKERS' EV PLANS - The price of nickel is surging as investors take stock of the new global reality: Russia, a key supplier of the metal, is now facing extensive sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine. - In an unusual step, the London Metal Exchange suspended nickel trading on Tuesday morning after three-month contract prices more than doubled to over $100,000 per ton. - Nickel is a critical ingredient in the lithium-ion battery cells used in most electric vehicles sold in — and planned for — the U.S. market. Its abrupt price surge has analysts and investors raising hard questions about automakers' ambitious electric-vehicle programs. - When the battery cell is charged, lithium ions are driven from the cathode to the anode. As the cell is discharged, the ions move back to the cathode, releasing energy.In recent years, automakers have discovered that adding more nickel to the cathode can boost a battery's energy density, which translates into more range per pound of batteries. - Some use even more, in part to reduce or eliminate cobalt, and in part to increase density for premium applications: The cathodes in cells that Korean battery giant LG Chem supplies to Tesla are 90% nickel, for instance. - Given the relatively high cost of nickel, and the concerns about supply that were being voiced before Russia invaded Ukraine, automakers have signaled that lithium-ion batteries with high-nickel cathodes are likely to be limited to premium applications. Original Source : https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/08/nickel-price-surge-could-threaten-automakers-ev-plans.htm EPA PROPOSES CUTS TO SMOG, SOOT POLLUTION FROM HEAVY TRUCKS - The Biden administration is proposing stronger pollution regulations for new tractor-trailer rigs that would clean up smoky diesel engines and encourage new technologies during the next two decades. - The proposal released Monday by the Environmental Protection Agency would require the industry to cut smog-and-soot-forming nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 90% per truck over current standards by 2031. The emissions can cause respiratory problems in humans. - Although truck manufacturers are working on battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell powertrains, the EPA says the proposal is not a zero-emissions truck requirement. Rather, the agency says there are pollution control devices in development that can keep diesels in use and still clean the air. - Environmental groups praised the EPA's action, but many urged the administration to move quickly on the proposal and then go farther toward requiring zero-emissions trucks. - The new standards would bring widespread air quality improvements, particularly in areas already exposed to heavy truck traffic, officials say.

It reduces the upfront cost of buying a two-wheeler, eliminates the range anxiety and the apprehensions about the useful life of the batteries. It certainly makes a lot of sense for the B2B customers as the swapping stations can be placed in the working zones for the riders to allow them to run their bikes without waiting for the recharging of the batteries.” Original Source : https://www.electrive.com/2022/03/07/hero-electric-sun-mobility-partner-up-for-battery-swapping-in-india/ BRAND NEW SIX-FIGURE TESLA MODEL X DELIVERED WITH MISMATCHED TIRES Original Source : https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-model-x-mismatched-tires-delivery/ PEUGEOT REACHES OVER 1000 E-LCV SALES ALREADY IN 2022 Original Source : https://electriccarsreport.com/2022/03/peugeot-reaches-over-1000-e-lcv-sales-already-in-2022/ ENDING THE UK'S DEPENDENCE ON RUSSIAN DIESEL Original Source : https://newautomotive.org/blog/ending-dependence-on-russian-diesel TESLA SUPERCHARGER FEE GAFFE RESULTS IN MODEL 3 OWNER TEMPORARILY GETTING $600K BILL Original Source : https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-supercharger-fee-600k-gaffe-china/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM Do you think rising fuel prices at the pumps will have a direct impact on EV sales?
