### Structural Observation — EV Transition as PE Entry Trigger

The Norwegian auto dealer landscape is undergoing massive disruption. The EV transition requires: new showroom concepts, charging infrastructure, brand portfolio restructuring (Chinese EV brands replacing legacy), and digital retail capabilities. Family dealer groups with NOK 1-2B revenue face capex requirements their balance sheets may struggle to fund. **This is a structural PE entry trigger** — similar to how the energy transition created opportunities in electrical/VVS sectors.
