Raise your EV game on the showroom floor and in the service drive

The EV customer experience significantly trails the ICE vehicle customer experience throughout the dealership. The data shows it, and you probably know it yourself. 

Where are the gaps in the EV experience? People make all the difference, and EV customers report far lower satisfaction with two highly impactful people categories: Dealer Personnel during the sales experience and Service Advisors during the ownership experience.
