Dealer Partner Program

For Dealerships

We work with dealers at two points in the customer relationship — before the purchase and after it.

"You sold them the dream. We'll show them how to live it."

Two Ways to Partner

Two ways to partner.

ev&Me works with dealers before and after the sale. Most partners start with one and add the other over time.

Before Purchase
The ev&Me Experience

We work with EV-curious customers before they visit a lot — intake consultation, facilitated test drive, live charging stop, written EV profile. Independent guidance that helps them decide with confidence.

When a customer completes the ev&Me Experience and decides to buy, we direct them to our dealer partners. They arrive informed and ready.

After Purchase
Post-Delivery Sessions

You sold them the dream. We'll show them how to live it. ev&Me provides white-glove technology sessions for your new buyers — at their car, on their schedule, in plain language.

The first 90 days after delivery are when loyalty is formed or lost. A buyer who understands and enjoys their vehicle rates their experience higher, comes back for service, and sends referrals. One who doesn't — churns.

"You sold them the dream. We'll show them how to live it."

The Gap

The sale ends at delivery. The ownership experience is just getting started.

Most dealers treat delivery day as the finish line. Your buyers treat it as the starting gun. What happens in the first 90 days shapes whether they come back — for service, for their next vehicle, and whether they send anyone else your way.

Why It Works

Why it matters.

Retention is the highest-return investment in automotive. The math on keeping a customer beats almost everything else.

📊
Higher CSI Scores
EV owners score 51 points below ICE owners on J.D. Power's CSI study — and that gap ties directly to post-sale support quality. A buyer who understands their vehicle rates their experience higher, which protects your OEM bonuses and reputation.
🔁
Better Retention Odds
Industry retention sits at just 43.9%. The dealers who close that gap do it through post-sale relationships — not discounts. ev&Me gives you a concrete, memorable touchpoint in the weeks after delivery, when loyalty is still being formed.
🏆
A Real Differentiator
74% of customers who service at the selling dealership buy their next vehicle there. Bundle ev&Me into your delivery experience and you're not just closing a sale — you're opening a relationship worth far more over time.
