Show #868.

Today's show feature Trey Woeste who is VP of Beechmont Auto Group, he leads a large team driving the traditional dealer model to an EV future. This podcast began life as a Zoom call organised by the City of Cincinnati, and organised by Carla Walker from EV Cincy. You'll hear her voice on the podcast at points today as she was the admin of the Zoom call.

Today, I ask Trey about the cars he's selling right now, how his particular dealer group is getting match ready for selling EVs, and his perspective on the wider industry. What are the challenges for dealers? Where do they see themselves in a world which in increasingly going online, and yet sells items which are often the second biggest purchase we make behind our house.

I started out asking Trey for a background on his business and then we get into specific EVs.  Before taking questions from the viewers who joined us for the live call.
