• Be our engagement specialist: you’ll be the face of our brand and will welcome customers into our showrooms and provide product information and demonstrations to get them familiar and excited about our models. There isn’t a piece of product technology that you won’t know and you’ll be able to positively share this with customers.
• Be an EV Advocate: you’ll have the knowledge, expertise and confidence to explain the products to customers as well as alleviating concerns which customers may have from switching from ICE to EV. As we know, range anxiety, cost comparisons and charging infrastructure are all fairly new concepts to our customers and future customers.
