Data-Driven Strategies Leverage Highly Targeted Messaging to Reach In-Market Electric Vehicle Shoppers; Guide Helps Dealers Focus on Key Tactics
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Customers exist in every market who value technology innovation, long-term cost benefits, and environmental responsibility found in electric vehicles. But, how will the elimination of the Federal EV tax credit of $7,500 impact vehicle demand, and how must dealers respond to maintain EV sales leadership? Answers to these questions are part of ZeroSum's eBook "The Dealer's Guide to EV Sales in the Post-Incentive Market" which launched today and can be downloaded here (https://www.zerosum.ai/ev-sales-tax-credit-expiration-guide/)
"The Federal EV tax credit of $7,500 is going away as of Sept. 30, which will certainly have an impact on cost-driven EV customers, and could potentially leave a backlog of EV inventory on dealer lots," said Josh Stoll, Vice President of Dealer Success at ZeroSum. "However, there are enough in-market customers remaining who will buy based on innovation and environmental responsibility. The key to EV sales success moving forward is to leverage data to better understand who these customers are and develop highly targeted messaging to get them into the dealership."
The Complete Guide to EV Sales Without Tax Credits includes:
- Why Top Dealers Are Planning for the EV Future
- The New EV Sales Playbook
- Long-Term Positioning for Dominating EV Sales
- Next Steps in Building Your Future EV Strategy

The guide contains background on current market trends, showing global share for electric vehicle production by region and sales data for the top 10 EV markets in the United States. It also includes practical guides for message development based on vehicle attributes resonating currently, and how to leverage the company's MarketAI tool to identify marketing platforms with high-concentration of in-market shoppers.
"ZeroSum is helping our customers use real-time market intelligence to identify buyers and adapt their messaging to the new reality," Stoll said.
