For years I thought of convenience stores as places where I could multi-task. I could fill up my car’s gas tank for my nearly hour ride home. I could grab a snack and sugary soda to keep me awake. I could peek at the newspaper headlines as I waited for the cashier.
That model of convenience stores still has relevance in today’s fast-paced commuter world. But there’s also room for adaptation and change with the arrival of electric vehicles (EVs). It really is time for convenience stores to start embracing EVs by incorporating well-lit and reliable charging stations into their business models. There’s a whole clientele of EV drivers out there waiting for you, convenience store owners. Convenience stores make an organically good fit as a location for EV chargers.
