Navigating E-Mobility and Energy Transition in the Convenience Ecosystem

The Future of EV

Annual electric vehicle (EV) sales in the U.S. are on track to surpass one million for the first time. While that’s still less than 10% of all new vehicles, consumer demand for EVs is rising—and so is the need for accessible EV charging.

This presents a huge business opportunity for the convenience industry.

For nearly 100 years, convenience stores have continually evolved to meet changing consumer demand. C-stores are now the go-to place for all types of everyday essentials and amenities—a cup of coffee, a car wash, a hot meal to rival leading quick service restaurants, a lottery ticket if you’re feeling lucky, or secure guest Wi-Fi.

And, of course, the fuel-up. Just as c-stores are strategically located for fueling up, they’re also prime real estate for charging EVs.

Discover how the convenience ecosystem is leading the energy transition to EVs and e-mobility.
