This is the second time that Fitzpatrick’s has been announced overall winner, having won National Electric Vehicle Dealership of the Year at the very first awards in 2022.

Out of 134 winning county dealerships, four regional finalists were previously announced at the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) awards in February, for their “demonstrated commitment to best-in-class customer experience”. 

From those four regional finalists, Fitzpatrick’s Garage Kildare was named the national winner of the ZEVI EV Dealership of the Year award.

Fitzpatrick’s was selected for the award by a panel of experts who assessed each dealership’s performance across a range of criteria, including “showroom visibility of EVs, salesperson knowledge of EVs, sales approach, EV training, sales trends, and website presentation”.
