Are EVs ready for the real world? That depends on who you ask.

In this episode of Leadership in the Dealership, Danielle Mills Walden and Phillip Greer get into what EV adoption actually looks like from a dealership perspective. Not the headlines, not the hype. What happens when these vehicles hit your lot, your service lane and your customers.

They talk through the real questions that keep coming up:
• What happens to the battery over time, and why warranties matter more than ever
• Why servicing an EV is not the same as servicing a gas engine
• The gap between EV demand and service infrastructure
• How connected vehicles change the conversation around data and security
• Why some customers are all in on self-driving and others are not even close
• What platform sharing between OEMs really means behind the scenes

There is a lot of excitement around EVs. There are also real operational challenges that dealers are working through every day.  If EVs are part of your future, this is not a conversation you can sit out.
