Mercedes sales plummet to 10yr lows after eliminating dealer network | Auto Expert John Cadogan
Mercedes-Benz sales have fallen to their lowest level in a decade, down under, following the company’s crazy-brave switch to the price-fixing agency model. They did that on January 1, and sales have since fallen to 10yr lows. Predictably, the company says the recent implosion of its sales is absolutely not its fault.

Plug in cars are now 20% of the New Zealand car market. Coffee and No Breakfast.
Coffee and No Breakfast EV thoughts.
The ability to build batteries at scale for electric cars is difficult. Only the companies which have established battery supply chains will be able to build EVs at scale, and survive into the future.
An example: If your company can make or secure some number of batteries for EVs. Say that is enough for 350km cars.
You can use that to make 1 full EV car,
if you make plug in hybrids you can use the same number of batteries to make seven 50km range plug in hybrid cars.
You can also also use it to make fifteen 25km range plug in hybrids.
You can use the same amount of batteries to make thirty to fifty hybrid cars.
The right thing to do is make plug in hybrids with a modular battery pack. Such that you can add an extra battery, just by bolting i...

Coffee and No Breakfast EV thoughts.
The ability to build batteries at scale for electric cars is difficult. Only the companies which have established battery supply chains will be able to build EVs at scale, and survive into the future.
An example: If your company can make or secure some number of batteries for EVs. Say that is enough for 350km cars.
You can use that to make 1 full EV car,
if you make plug in hybrids you can use the same number of batteries to make seven 50km range plug in hybrid cars.
You can also also use it to make fifteen 25km range plug in hybrids.
You can use the same amount of batteries to make thirty to fifty hybrid cars.
The right thing to do is make plug in hybrids with a modular battery pack. Such that you can add an extra battery, just by bolting it in. A trickier solution is to have the engine as a generator, and have the deign such that you can remove the engine and install, still another battery.
Some established car brands are big on building hybrids, and a small number of low range plug in hybrids, because they have been unable to secure battery supply chains, or did not think it was important. If customers demand EVs or longer range plug in hybrids. The companies that did not secure battery supply chains, will have to shrink to match their battery supply.
I live in New Zealand, there is a program to tax the sale of inefficient cars and cross subsidise efficient vehicles. This has made EVs US$5,000 cheaper and pick up trucks US$3,000 more expensive. So budget EVs are now in the range that 20% of all vehicle sales were EVs and plug in EVs last month. Note just 0.3% were hybrid cars.
The hybrid strategy is finished. Plug in hybrids were 4% of sales. Traditional hybrids were 0.3% and full EVs were 15%. I think almost all of the plug in hybrids were Mitsubishi 4WD models, for people who want a 4WD. The remainder were MG plug in hybrids which are the cheapest model plug in, which people use for regular commuting, but can still make occasional long trips without the constraints of finding chargers.
I could not find good statistics to separate the used imports and new imports.
Disambiguation:
10,940 new passenger cars were sold in August, the most for any August, and 2,557 were pure electric vehicles, a 23% share. In addition there were 627 PHEVs and 1,626 petrol hybrids sold. That means new energy vehicles grabbed a 44% share in August.

If customers demand EVs or longer range plug in hybrids. The companies that did not secure battery supply chains, will have to shrink to match their battery supply.
I live in New Zealand, there is a program to tax the sale of inefficient cars and cross subsidise efficient vehicles. This has made EVs US$5,000 cheaper and pick up trucks US$3,000 more expensive. So budget EVs are now in the range that 20% of all vehicle sales were EVs and plug in EVs last month. Note just 0.3% were hybrid cars.
The hybrid strategy is finished. Plug in hybrids were 4% of sales. Traditional hybrids were 0.3% and full EVs were 15%. I think almost all of the plug in hybrids were Mitsubishi 4WD models, for people who want a 4WD. The remainder were MG plug in hybrids which are the cheapest model plug in, which people use for regular commuting, but can still make occasional long trips without the constraints of finding chargers.
I could not find good statistics to separate the used imports and new imports.
Disambiguation:
10,940 new passenger cars were sold in August, the most for any August, and 2,557 were pure electric vehicles, a 23% share. In addition there were 627 PHEVs and 1,626 petrol hybrids sold. That means new energy vehicles grabbed a 44% share in August.

The British Touring Car Championship is a touring car racing series held each year in the United Kingdom, currently organized and administered by ToCA. It was established in 1958 as the British Saloon Car Championship and was renamed as the British Touring Car Championship in 1987.[1] The championship has been run to various national and international regulations over the years including FIA Group 2, FIA Group 5, FIA Group 1, FIA Group A, FIA Super Touring and FIA Super 2000. A lower-key Group N series for production cars ran for most of the 1990s.
The championship was initially run with a mix of classes, divided according to engine capacity, racing simultaneously. This often meant that a driver who chose the right class could win the overall championship without any chance of overall race wins, thereby devaluing the title for the spectators -- for example, in the 1980s Chris Hodgetts won two overall titles in a small Toyota Corolla prepared by Hughes Of Beaconsfield, at that time a Mercedes-Benz/Toyota main dealer when most of the race wins were going to much larger cars; and while the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500s were playing at the front of the field, Frank Sytner took a title in a Class B BMW M3 and John Cleland's first title was won in a small Class C Vauxhall Astra.
After the domination (and expense) of the Ford Sierra Cosworth in the late 1980s, the BTCC was the first to introduce a 2.0 L formula, in 1990, which later became the template for the Supertouring class that exploded throughout Europe. The BTCC continued to race with Supertouring until 2000 and for 2001 adopted its own BTC Touring rules. However, the Super 2000 rules have now been observed for the overall championship since the 2007 season. The 2000s have seen cheaper cars than the later Supertouring era, with fewer factory teams and fewer international drivers.
In 2009, the BTCC released details of its Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC) specification, to be introduced from 2011. The introduction of these new technical regulations were designed to dramatically reduce the design, build and running costs of the cars and engines as well as reducing the potential for significant performance disparities between cars. The NGTC specification also aimed to cut costs by reducing reliance on WTCC/S2000 equipment, due to increasing costs/complexity and concerns as to its future sustainability and direction.[2]
