Do EV sales have different override patterns?
About DealerInt
DealerInt is a Chrome extension that captures every pricing override at your dealership — who made it, why, and the exact gross impact. Works alongside your existing DMS and CRM. 24-hour setup, no IT work.
In summary: EV sales may have different override dynamics—manufacturer incentives, charging credits, demand variability. DealerInt captures overrides across all vehicle types. Dashboards can segment by vehicle type when that data is available from your DMS. For most dealers, the challenge isn't knowing this is a problem — it's having the visibility to act on it in real time. F&I overrides are the hardest to catch because they often look like normal deal structure to anyone not watching closely. Real-time tracking makes the invisible visible. DealerInt captures this data automatically at the point of every pricing decision, giving you a searchable record of what was approved, who approved it, and why — without changing your existing DMS workflow.
F&I managers who receive weekly override data coaching improve gross per deal by an average of $290 within 60 days.
