We already know that the Buick brand will be completely electric by 2030, therefore the agencies that want to continue selling the brand’s cars will have to make a strong investment.
What’s the matter?
Buick agencies in the United States will have to invest between 300,000 and 400,000 dollars for infrastructure such as training at each dealership. This to be able to continue selling fully electrified brand cars like the new Electra. If they do not, they will have to separate from the Buick brand, this is indicated by a report by AutoNews.
“The minimum amount of investment for a Buick dealer to be ready for electric cars can vary, but it is estimated at $300,000 to $400,000. Consent to an offer is voluntary, but all remaining Buick dealers must adjust to sell and service Buick electric cars” said Sean Poppit, spokesperson for the brand.
AutoNews notes that at the beginning of the year, there were a total of 1,963 dealerships in the US. At the moment, Buick has not revealed how many will leave the mark. What is known is that only 1/3 of the Cadillac distributors did, when they were given the same option, well remember it will also be a brand with completely electric cars.
Here’s the interesting thing, according to AutoNews, is that Cadillac agencies were only asked for an average investment of 200 thousand dollars, to prepare and sell electric cars. Considering that Buicks are less popular in the US, we can imagine that few agencies will make the investment to sell cars of the brand, don’t you think? leave us your comment.
