Think electric vehicles won't move on your lot? You might be leaving an opportunity on the table. We caught up with an independent dealer at the NIADA convention to discuss why lot owners shouldn't shy away from stocking used EVs.

Buy it right, price it according to the data, and you might be surprised how quickly it sells. To the independent auto dealers out there: what's currently holding you back from stocking EVs on your lot? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
