Sell More EVs • Share Best Practices

George makes some good points about info presentation but that's like flipping a switch from standard miles to metric kilometers.
Even for hybrids there is so much 1 sided information that I can't really compare.
How many miles can I drive on a Jeep GC ev hybrid?

EV issues:
range anxiety
charging stations
Is an EV really cheaper to drive mile to mile than an ice car.


If you’re considering investing in real estate, the southern part of Athens has some great options. The area is known for its coastal charm, vibrant communities, and easy access to amenities. I recently came across several listings of apartments for sale in Athens South that offer modern designs and sea views. Prices vary depending on the neighborhood, but the overall value is promising. It’s worth visiting in person to get a feel for the surroundings and check the proximity to schools, shops, and transport.
Absolutely! Dealerships that are succeeding with EV sales often use dedicated EV specialists, interactive configurators showing range, charging, and cost-of-ownership, and offer test drives that include real charging demos. Online tools highlighting incentives, tax credits, and local charging networks also help both buyers and sales reps. A good EV sales tool educates, visualizes savings, and reduces range anxiety, making it easier for reps to close deals and for first-time EV buyers to feel confident.
 
EVs are here to stay. The majority of EV shoppers are 1st time EV buyers. Our dealer websites have very poor EV support.

If you know of a dealer (franchised or indy) that's doing anything interesting that helps sell more EV's, please share!

p.s. sales reps need assistance too! A great EV sales tool helps both buyer and seller!
WattMatters.AI is a vendor that specializes in helping ICE dealers get into the used EV/Tesla market and those already in the market to do so more profitably. We understand the guts of these vehicles including the hardware, the software, the FSD status and others. Some Teslas have a pathway to autonomy and others simply don't knowing the difference can mean $5k or more in price differential.

The MOST important thing a dealer can do is to understand the software page on the display and the AVI (additional vehicle information) page accessed from the software page. Every listing of a Tesla on the dealer's site should include both of these pictures as a knowledgable Tesla shopper would not buy any Tesla without knowing this. Some of your Tesla buyers know a lot about these cars, likely more than you might. Don't let them pick you off. You should command the intelligence and understand where the value lies.

Our application allows you to take these two pictures into our phone application and we use the information read by our AI, combined with a few options choices you can submit, to generate a report with the valuation and the reasons for the variations from other car valuation companies. In less than a minute you will know enough to be confident in the value. Whether you are at an auction thinking of buying a Tesla to sell or if you want to inventory the Teslas on your lot for appropriate value, WattMatters has the solution.

As part of our subscription, we will review the Teslas in your inventory, listed on your webpage every 2 weeks send you a report of our findings. If you post the software and AVI pages like we strongly suggest, our AI can read the info and alert you to any mispricing. We stay up on all things Tesla and these can create real opporunities in the used car market.

As Tesla cars approach autonomy, the diffences between ones that are ready with HW and software, ones that have a pathway to get there, and those that will likely never economically be upgraded to do so can be about $8,000 and will expand as autonomy improves. Buying and Selling just one car that you might have mispriced will more than pay for our system for a year.

For any dealers that would like to try us out and see how the value we add might help you enhance your EV sales or convince you to enter into the market, we will send you a link with a 2 week trial. No strings, assess the value of any Teslas you like. We welcome feedback as we are alway looking to improve the product. Email me at [email protected] with your Name, Company, email and a phone number and we will email you the link to our trial. You have nothing to lose and, I promise, even those that are selling Teslas currently will likely learn something from the trial.

✨ AI Highlights

Dealers and vendors share tactics for selling more EVs, with discussion ranging from leveraging local utility incentives (like Vermont's $2,000 EV rebates that helped one Nissan dealer move Ariyas at high volume) to improving dealer website VDPs with fuel-savings calculators, trade-in programs, and GA4 tracking. The key insight is that most EV buyers are first-timers, so dealers need better digital tools and transparent cost-of-ownership messaging to close the education gap and convert shoppers. Vendor Lectium and a pilot dealership (Reymore.com) are actively testing EV-specific VDP enhancements, with API integration for finance widgets on the roadmap.
