Poole Audi receives electric vehicle accreditation 

Poole Audi has received its Electric Vehicle Approved (EVA) accreditation. 

The Electric Vehicle Approved (EVA) scheme has been developed by the National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) to recognise retailers’ excellence in the electric vehicle sector. EVA is endorsed by the Government’s Office for Zero-Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and Energy Saving Trust.

The scheme encourages retailers to further develop their ability in selling and servicing electric vehicles. It recognises retailers’ expertise in the electric vehicle sector and promotes industry standards for the benefit of the consumer. 

Following two extremely successful years, which saw over two-hundred retailers obtain accredited status, the Government has renewed its co-sponsorship of the scheme. 

Energy Saving Trust independently audits individual retailers to verify that they meet a set of standards covering EV sales and aftersales. These include the customer qualification process, staff knowledge and training, EV demonstration and handover processes as well as availability of EV service bays and charge points on site.

Elliot Onaran, Head of Business, commented: “We are delighted to receive our EVA accreditation. Customers can be reassured that at Poole Audi they will receive the best advice and support when buying an electric vehicle.

“To gain the accreditation, our team has undertaken intensive training. Areas, where our staff has demonstrated their knowledge, include: charging an EV, different driving modes and their impacts, electric driving range and fuel consumption for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), guidance on servicing and maintenance of an EV, and more.”

Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
