Some Ford Dealers Withdraw From Electric Car Sales Program
There are rumblings of mutiny out on the hustings, however. 46 North Carolina Ford dealers have filed a petition challenging the Model e Certified programs with that state’s commissioner of the division of motor vehicles. “The dealers waited to see what changes Ford would make to the Model e program at NADA, and unfortunately, those changes were insufficient to address these dealers’ concerns,” Shawn Mercer, who represents the dealers, told.
In Mississippi, meanwhile, the governor of that state has recently signed legislation designed to protect the good people of the Magnolia State from the scourge of electric car companies selling electric cars through a “store” instead of regular dealership. It just so happens that Tesla has a “store” in Mississippi, but is not a franchise dealer. The state’s auto dealers have exerted their considerable influence over the legislature to get the new law passed.
Some thought the franchise dealer model would fade away long before this, but they underestimated the enormous power car dealers have when they spread all that campaign cash around the halls of government. Even Elon Musk has been unable to blunt the power of dealers in many states.
