Second Quarter 2024 – Forecast and Statistics for the new car industry.

NCDA welcomes its newest members to the Association Membership.

The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) has collaborated with the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) to develop and implement an online training for dealership salespeople focused on the nuances of selling electric vehicles (EVs) to amplify mass-market EV adoption.

Cal/OSHA requires training for each employee, including managers, in heat illness prevention before starting any work that has the risk of exposure to heat. Managers, in their supervisory role, must be able to understand the causes, prevention, and symptoms of, and remedies for heat stress.

As most car dealers are aware, offers made pursuant to California Civil Procedure (CCP) Section 998 can be a useful tool to reign in the cost of settling consumer litigation. Section 998 is a cost-shifting statute designed “to encourage the settlement of litigation without trial, by punishing the party who fails to accept a reasonable settlement offer from its opponent.”

California dealers and retailers are selling electric vehicles (EVs) at record-numbers, reaching 25% of the new car market. However, consumers still need support and education surrounding the EV ecosystem. In addition, dealers are experts at selling vehicles, but there are a lot of extra questions customers have when it comes to buying EVs versus a gas vehicle, which can sometimes increase the sales cycle of EVs.

4 New members join the Board of Directors.
