> do car dealers want to sell EVs ? from what I can see it's an all losing proposition for them, Outside the US, car dealers are just an extension of the manufacturers. The networks of dealerships (which are just showrooms + service locations usually, since of course you do the Tesla mode of ordering for all new cars) are just sister companies to the manufacturer. Whether or not they want to sell what HQ manufactures isn't really a relevant question for them. What a BMW reseller wants is to keep as many BMWs on the road as possible because that gives profits in sales and service (Which benefits both BMW and their sales and service org)
