On March 11, at the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in Las Vegas, Plug In America announced that it is partnering with NADA and the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) to educate franchised auto dealerships nationwide on electric vehicles. This will greatly improve the EV buying experience and make it easier for consumers to transition to clean EVs. This partnership is supported by the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which will engage all vehicle manufacturers to further dealership participation across the U.S.<\/p>\n
Franchised dealerships play a valuable role in the national transition to electric transportation and this training program will educate dealers about charging options, EV infrastructure, service requirements, and other aspects of EV ownership. This online, interactive program will be designed to complement automakers’ training and offer quick, easily digestible talking points that allow sales staff to confidently encourage potential EV buyers. Upon successful completion of the course, dealership sales staff will receive Plug In America’s PlugStar Bronze certification.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe transition to electric vehicles is now inevitable and dealers play an important role in helping consumers as they make the switch,\u201d said Joel Levin, executive director of Plug In America. \u201cWe are excited to work with NADA and CSE to help dealers educate consumers about the many benefits of EVs, from cleaner air to convenience to the great driving experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy bringing these two EV-focused powerhouse organizations together with NADA, we will efficiently educate dealers and help accelerate the mass market adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S.,\u201d said NADA president and CEO Mike Stanton. \u201cThe dealership training program leverages the strengths of each organization and will ensure dealers are more than prepared to sell and service the EV future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
