Buick has no electric models on the market, but GM plans to transform the luxury brand into an EV-only brand by 2030.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dive Insight:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investment by dealers is intended to cover the costs of installing EV chargers, training staff to service EVs and other initiatives,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/autos\/gm-buys-out-half-of-its-buick-dealers-6b9eefcc?mod=autos_news_article_pos3\">according to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>. Before the buyouts, GM had roughly 2,000 Buick dealers. However, a GM spokesperson told the WSJ that most Buick dealers&nbsp;have made the required upfront EV investments. As a result of the buyouts, GM said it will have around 1,000 Buick dealers left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis year we\u2019ve given dealers who are not aligned with Buick\u2019s future to exit voluntarily in a respectful and structured way; with the full support of our National Dealer Council,\u201d a GM spokesperson said in an email.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.automotivedive.com\/news\/gm-buys-out-around-half-buick-dealers-ev-electric-vehicles\/703224\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.automotivedive.com\/news\/gm-buys-out-around-half-buick-dealers-ev-electric-vehicles\/703224\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a small business owner I can imagine the anguish of dealers opting to give up businesses they have built over the years rather than follow GM into their high risk EV gamble. Running a business is more than a job, it is a labor of love \u2013 something you put your heart into, part of your identity as a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m guessing the dealers who accepted the buyouts felt they had no choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is unlikely the $300,000 required investment to retool for EVs is the reason automobile dealers left the industry. There is big money in automobiles, a friend who runs a repair shop and towing service in a country town makes well north of $100,000 per month. The only reason I can think of for business owners bailing over a $300,000 mandatory investment is if the dealers thought they would lose a lot more than $300,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GM might have the political pull to demand and receive&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSBREA3T0MU\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fat taxpayer bailouts<\/a>&nbsp;when management incompetence drives the company into bankruptcy.
