Drive into the future with us!

According to the Florida Automobile Dealers Association (FADA), “the future is here and Florida dealers are here for it!”

As EV’s begin to permeate our dealerships, Florida’s franchise dealers are leading the way. We are excited about getting EV’s into the hands of consumers. We are doing everything we can to educate ourselves and our consumers as we usher in this new era in transportation.Paul McNamara, FADA Chairman

Since 1920, the Florida Automobile Dealers Association (FADA) has served, protected and advocated for the interests of new, franchised automobile and truck dealers in Florida. There are more than 850 dealerships in Florida contributing to the economy with more than $103 Billion in sales, generating $6.2 Billion in state sales taxes.

Drive Electric Florida (DEFL)

Drive Electric Florida (DEFL) has long known that electric vehicles (EVs) are cost effective and environmentally friendly and that EVs can help improve fuel economy, lower fuel costs, reduce emissions, and can reduce your customers carbon footprint.

DEFL also knows that for any consumer looking to buy an electric vehicle, knowing where to start and which dealerships to visit, may be the biggest challenge to making the first step in any EV purchase.

For over 100 years, car sales have been focused on selling Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. Yet today, EVs are starting to capture a much larger share of the new vehicle sales market and are known to be treated as a niche product.

To enhance dealership EV knowledge, the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) and the JEA have developed dealer incentive and education programs.

Thanks to OUC and JEA, DEFL has put together an informative, educational EV Dealer Page that highlights both Dealer Incentive Programs offered by OUC and JEA to put dealerships on the road to selling EVs successfully.

Through this program, local dealers can take advantage of financial incentives for each eligible electric vehicle sold or leased along with specialized EV training and educational materials. OUC works closely with these dealerships to ensure a great EV shopping experience. – OUC the Reliable One
