1. EV Readiness - The first module will help you ensure that your dealership infrastructure is ready: understand the requirements, the steps you must take before spending any money and how you can benefit from the super deduction tax.

2. EV Ethos -Through the second session of the day, Ian Featherstone, Knowledge Manager at Energy Saving Trust, will advise dealers on how to create a successful EV culture, including the importance of understanding the latest technology and adapting the skills of your workforce

3. EV Sales - Declan Gaule, Chief Executive of MFG Group, will lead this section. Discussions will focus on qualifying your EV customers, overcome potential objections and progressing enquiries.
