The intentions of the Government in relation to the environment have certainly become a lot dearer. The UK is accelerating towards a 2030 future where every new car sold will be zero emissions-capable and retailers need to prepare for increasing customer enquiries. Car-buying comparison site Carwow has already recorded higher levels of interest in alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), with them accounting for a quarter of sales through its website in December 2020, as well as one-in-five car configurations in January this year. John Veichmanis, Carwow chief operating officer, tells AM: "There have been some sizable shifts in activity with consumer appetite for AFVs ramping up, something which has been accelerated by the pandemic." "The level of research intensifies when you're buying an electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid, particularly for the first time. However, there is no comparison to the level of expert AFV product knowledge customers can get from their retailer. "So any aid dealers can offer during that research and inspiration stage is vital." |
