Why Electrification Matters for Fuel Retailers 

The fuel retail industry in North America is undergoing its biggest transformation since the first gasoline pump was built in 1910. With electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerating rapidly across the US and Canada, this shift presents a unique opportunity for fuel retailers.

Surging EV Adoption

US light-duty electric vehicle sales increased nearly five-fold between 2019 and 2024, reaching 1.25 million units, with projections showing over 70% of new vehicles will be electric or plug-in hybrids by 2035.

Higher Margins

EV charging offers higher profitability than traditional fuel sales, plus longer customer dwell times that increase in-store revenue.

Government Support

Leverage US federal and state incentives, including the Department of Transportation’s $5 billion NEVI program, which funds up to 80% of charging infrastructure costs.

Strategic Advantage

Position your business as a leader in the evolving North American transport ecosystem by integrating reliable, fast EV charging solutions.
