In our dealership infographic, we've used our network planning data to present a comparison of new kids vs old skool as of February 2022.
Firstly, BEV is an acronym for Battery Electric Vehicles. ICE stands for Internal Combustion Engine.
What's the difference between New BEV only brands and Transition BEV brands you may ask?
Well, new BEV brands have only sold BEV from inception (e.g. Tesla), whereas Transition BEV brands traditionally sold ICE vehicles (Internal Combustion Engined vehicles) and are transitioning/transitioned to BEV only (e.g. Smart).
So what do these dealership numbers look like as a percentage, and what other differences are there between the two?
We’ll discuss those in the second part of the post.
