Episode 103: Wanna Sell More EVs? A Solid EV Fixed Ops Plan is a Must-Have

The vibes were vibing when Al Salas, CEO of EcoAuto and Susan O'Rourke VP of Business Development at Plug, joined me to talk things EV sales and service! Turns out one of the biggest reasons why EcoAuto has been so wildly successful in selling EVs (all over the U.S.) is because Al's business model is extremely intentional when it comes to EV service. Al's dealership distinguishes itself by being among the first to provide battery refurbishment services, setting a new benchmark in the EV industry. Additionally, the episode highlights the dealership's venture into the commercial EV market, specifically marking their entry with the sale of a Mullen Class 3 EV Cab Chassis Truck to a transportation company. Press play to hear all of these insights (and so much more)! Once you listen to this episode, I'm sure you'll agree that Al's pioneering approach to EV service, sales and fleet are nothing short of extraordinary and inspiring._______________________________This episode is sponsored by Plug, an online auction that facilitates wholesale buying and selling of used EVs among a network of dealers and fleet operators.
