By 2030, the average auto dealership could spend 15–20% or more on utility costs. Utility companies are transitioning their pricing plans to focus on peak demand and time-of-use. How will this impact your bottom line? What can you do now to reduce risk and lock in low utility costs over time? How are you preparing for the increased demand for EVs? What are your plans for an efficient EV charging infrastructure? How does the millennial buyer and workforce influence your business? Learn how to integrate "Green Dealer" best practices to invest in the future of your dealership.
