Ushering in a New Era for EV Owners Everywhere As we were saying, Stellantis and its partners are in the process of ushering in a new era for EV owners everywhere. While the initial 30,000-plus charge points are set for construction in North America, there are already plans to expand this extensive network all around the globe. But, before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let’s take a minute to discuss what we can expect from these next-generation charging stations. What We Can Expect From These Next-Generation Charging Stations Specifically designed with the customer’s experience in mind, these charge points will provide users with smooth, comfortable, and unparalleled charging opportunities. In addition to best-in-class charging capabilities, customers will also have several amenities to choose from while fueling up their vehicles. Included in this lengthy list of bonuses, one will find public bathrooms, food service sites, and even local retail operations. Furthermore, every charging station will offer both Combined Charging System (CCS) as well as North American Charging Standard (NACS) connectors, thereby serving every EV on the market today. All Seven Automakers and Their Respective Standards of Excellence And, last but certainly not least, these locations will be backed by all seven automakers and their respective standards of excellence. In other words, when you do business with industry-leading companies such as these, you can always expect them to follow through on their promises of exceptional customer service, uncompromising quality of products, unparalleled reliability, etc. In short, if their individual endeavors are already among the best in the industry, then just imagine what can happen when they all come together towards a common goal. Suffice it to say, this joint venture could very well be one of the most important moments in the history of EVs in North America, let alone the entire world.

International Women’s Day is March 8, and we’re celebrating here at Benna CDJR. From our amazing staff to the brands we work with, we’re taking this time to give accolades where they’re very well deserved. The day is set aside to celebrate achievements and look towards the future of gender parity of the women in our community and around the world. Recognizing Women’s Achievement: Past, Present, and Future The automotive world hasn’t always been associated with women, but the last several decades have proven that to be incorrect. Now more than ever, women are ruling every sector of the industry from business to manufacturing and right here at our dealership. Chrysler, Ford, Jeep, and RAM are part of the Stellantis Group, which launched Women of Stellantis in honor of last year’s IWD. It’s a resource group meant to improve representation and foster inclusion in every sector of the industry by promoting women in leadership and increasing employment around the world. By increasing awareness and embracing women’s contributions, Stellantis is opening the door to invite women into the automotive world. The group sets realistic goals with concrete plans to achieve them, like having 35% of women in leadership roles by 2030. They’d already achieved 24% by 2020, a vast increase from previous years. When you visit us at Benna CDJR, you’ll see how important women are to how our dealership is run, including our office, service center, and everything in between. Since one of IWD’s missions is to build workplaces where women thrive, we as a team work hard to build an environment that’s inclusive. As Gloria Steinem stated, equality is a collective effort, achievable only by working together as a team. So this year, we plan not only to celebrate the history of women’s achievements, but also build a future where success is more possible and within reach than ever before. When you visit us at Benna CDJR, you’ll see for yourself how women are part of the backbone of our dealership. Whether you visit our sales team to browse our new vehicles or bring your car, truck, or SUV in for service, we welcome you to join us in celebrating women on International Women’s Day – and every other day!
