Episode 117: EV Service in North Dakota? Nah, Just Kidding

Ryan Else, Corporate Fixed Operations Director at Eide Auto Group in North Dakota, joins the show today to talk about the role of service and collision in the electric vehicle space (imagine that!) Although North Dakota has one of the lowest rates of EV adoption in the country, Ryan openly discusses his expectations for the future of fixed operations involving electric drivetrains. Will it include parts subscriptions for tires? Will it heavily focus on OTAs (over-the-air updates)? Or will it be all of the above? What will give franchise dealerships the upper hand when trying to deal with EVs profitably in the service lane? In the land of F-150s, RAMs (and some hybrids), Ryan gives us all a much needed reality check. Yeah, I said it!______________________________🚨 Your Favorite Host Has Been Nominated! 🚨 If you've enjoyed this episode or any other episode on the show, consider giving me (Elena Ciccotelli, Founder, Host & Producer of The EVs for Everyone Podcast) a vote to win MOVE's 2024 Woman in Mobility Champion. Thank you in advance!CLICK HERE TO VOTE: https://movemnt.net/vote-for-your-move-america-2024-woman-in-mobility/_______________________________Connect with Elena:https://evs4everyone.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/elenaciccotelli/Let's talk on X:https://twitter.com/EVs_forEveryoneAre you connected with the show on LinkedIn? https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-evs-for-everyone-podcast/________________________Connect with Ryan Else: [email protected]
