Shockingly Simple: Selling EVs with Confidence

Every customer walking in today has heard an EV myth: they do not go far enough, charging takes forever, they cost too much. If you stumble when answering, the deal dies. If you stay clear and confident, trust grows and the customer stays with you.

That is what EP58 is all about: giving consultants the language and tools to turn EV confusion into clarity, and clarity into confidence.

Truth Bomb 💣

Nearly 3 out of 4 customers would consider an EV if a salesperson could explain charging simply. The barrier is not technology, it is trust.

AutoKnerd History Lesson

Weird & Awesome from Automotive History

The Never Satisfied

In 1899, an electric car set the world land speed record.

It was called La Jamais Contente (“The Never Satisfied”), and it looked more like a torpedo on wheels than a car. Powered by two electric motors, it became the first road vehicle to break 100 km/h (62 mph).

The kicker: over 120 years ago, the fastest car on Earth was not gas-powered, it was electric.

Proof that EVs are not new, just making a comeback. And just like then, confidence in the technology is what makes the difference.

Today’s Mission: Bust one EV myth in the wild +10 XP

During a customer conversation this week, listen for any EV concern: range, charging, or cost.
Use one of the strong scripts from the EV Confidence Kit to respond.
Write down the myth you heard and the way you answered it.
Hand this note to your manager at the end of the week.
Only valid if the EV sale is made that week.

If your manager is using the BETA activity this week turn this in for a boost in the rankings
Reward: +10 XP on your Character Sheet

This weeks ELITE Manager activity in the BETA is inspired by D&D. Can you earn the next level?
