Eric, one thing I think besides all of the other great points, is walking a new to the EV world customer, how to charge the Mach E - plug and pay; the steps to DC charging, etc.Hey All!
My name is Eric and I am a manager at a dealership in Southern California. If any of you have cross-shopped the Bronco, you may know me from the Bronco6G forums.

I believe the experience we're currently offering EV buyers is so-so at best, likely below customer expectations if I'm being critical. We're above average when compared to other dealerships but I still see so much room to improve. So my hope is that I can get some input from you all, the MachE buyers and enthusiasts, as to how dealers should better serve today's EV buyers.
My 2-point question is this: Other than being competitively priced and having the right inventory, is there an experience that a dealer could provide which would make you travel beyond your closest dealer to purchase / service an EV? And part two to that is, how could that dealership communicate to you that they offer that experience?
I'm in the process of ground-up building a dedicated EV team, and I'd greatly value any input you could share! Whether it's about your experience when you bought your MachE, what you're experiencing as a current shopper, or even just your hypothetical ideal dealership interaction. I'm here to listen! I'm also glad to share the steps we're taking internally already for anybody who is curious.
Thanks for your time!
Eric Bunch
