The Motor Trades Association of Queensland is encouraging businesses to adapt to the changeover to EVs, which may bring Carmageddon.
“All of the evidence from Europe is that there is a 40% reduction in revenue from servicing EVs compared to combustion engines. So, business, my message to you is that you have to adapt.”Rod likens the impact of the invasion of EVs to the introduction of the Model T Ford in 1908. There are already 25,000 EVs on Queensland roads, and that number is expected to double by the end of this year.
He continued that it doesn’t matter how big your dealership is; if you are not planning for the change to EVs, you are likely to miss business opportunities. These opportunities exist in the sale of cars, the repair of cars, and the servicing of cars. Those in dealerships, collision repairs, or independent mechanical services need to take note. Some businesses may eventually cease to exist as the fleet transitions over the next decade — like muffler repairs, for example.
My friend in Bundaberg reports that his order of an MG 4 is one of 7 at his local MG dealership. According to the, so far there are only 63 BEVs registered in his city . I’m looking forward to checking that again next month. You can have some fun by typing in your postcode and checking how many EVs are in your vicinity.
