In some ways, EV charging is a whole new world. Instead of needing to be located at a dedicated gas station, with big underground tanks and other infrastructure to receive shipments, an EV charging station can be placed almost anywhere. Shopping malls, restaurants, big box stores, rest areas, and just about anything goes. But that doesn’t mean that fuel retailers won’t be part of the future. After all, gas stations and truck stops serve an ICE car’s needs, but they also serve human needs.
But, what that is going to look like is still very much an open question. It’s becoming apparent that amenities are a big part of the equation, as EV drivers stick around longer. Beyond that, we really need to gain a better understanding of how the gas station business works if we want to be able to make educated guesses about the future.
Fortunately, I recently came across a great interview with a long-time gas station owner where he talks about a lot of his experiences. In this article, I’ll share the video and then get into some of the lessons we can learn from it!
