The Future for Gasoline Stations
Gasoline stations have a bright future even if the quantity of fuel they sell each day experiences a gradual downward spiral. Why? It is all about infrastructure.
The number of electric vehicles in the United States is predicted to skyrocket in the not too distant future. The million dollar question goes like this: can a gas station thrive in this world of EV chargers? The simple answer is, “yes.’ All it will require is a set of ingenious changes and modifications. As one of the leading bulk fuel suppliers in the southeast, we are now experienced in the dynamic field of multi-purpose fuel station design.
The process of expanding into the exciting EV space by fuel stations calls for careful analysis and planning, and will cost a little. Consider taking the following steps if you plan to make your service station future-ready:
Install universal EV chargers that are coin operated much like a vending machine.
Offer Car-Wash Services
Expand your food delivery services in your convenience store and go with the flow by serving up both healthy and health foods which continue to remain increasingly popular especially among Gen Z.
Cater to the daily needs of your local community at your convenience store and ensure that you do not charge more than your neighborhood grocery store.
Jump on the online digital payments band wagon in full and not partially if you have not done so already by automating your entire fuel payment options not only for your customers but also for your vendors.
The EV charging revolution
Install super fast commercial grade universal recharging stations so that drivers can charge their vehicles in no time. Enter into a marketing contract with your local utility so that drivers can locate you easily. Charging EVs requires that customers have to spend time in your premises. Keep them entertained so that they may not approach your competitor who offers better pastimes. You may also offer conventional vehicle maintenance services like repairs and tire replacements.
A future-ready fuel station has no choice, but to go along with the clean energy trend. Be smart, remain flexible, stay abreast with the trends and make your fuel station ready for the green and clean revolution of tomorrow.
