to help educate and sell BEVs to Californians. We expect this number to increase significantly as trust in charging stations is addressed. Manufacturers and their partners need to provide customers with chargers that are 1) accessible anywhere they travel, 2) quick, 3) functioning properly and finally, 4) affordable for all income levels. CNCDA dealers continue to do their part to revolutionize the automotive industry, remain educated, offer innovative products and provide exceptional service to Californians. We look forward to seeing our manufacturing partners also play their part in this electrification of California’s new vehicles. Achieving 100% of new BEVs sold by 2035 requires OEMs to adopt a realistic approach. Recognizing the challenges dealers face in installing EV infrastructure, including existing constraints and tight timelines, is vital to ensure a successful transition. By combining innovative vehicle selection, meeting consumer needs, considering affordability and preferences, and honoring the strong relationships between franchised dealers and our manufacturing partners, we can effectively prepare for California’s electrified future. Sincerely, Brian Maas, President California New Car Dealers Association CNCDA is doing its part to provide our members with cutting-edge information to answer logistical questions specifically related to California’s energy grid and supply. 8 California New Car Dealer Quarterly
