ACMobility ditching Honda for hot new brand (BYD)

I really like this move if we zoom out: the Zobel Family is detaching itself from legacy brands, and refocusing its efforts on a new brand with proven growth prospects in BYD. That sounds great as a headline, but I’m curious about how the transition will work under the hood, at the ground level. The nine dealerships under ACMobility will be turned over to new management very quickly, but how quickly will they be able to spin up the new BYD dealerships? Are they going to put the BYD dealerships in the same locations as the old Honda dealerships? It doesn’t sound like it. Will the new locations be good? How long will it take to get those up and running?
