Electric Service Station
Petrol retailers have begun to add electric vehicle charging stations to existing petrol station sites. Electric vehicle drivers prefer the service station experience as opposed to charging in isolated areas with no food, beverage or shopping facilities. Service station operators will migrate from petrol to mixed-use to pure electric operations over time. Hydrogen may also be part of the mix if hydrogen cars gain traction in the market.
The charging stations will integrate with existing forecourt tap and go credit card and debit card payment systems. Electric vehicle drivers hate using smartphone applications for charging session activation and payment.
Charging sessions will be activated by an outdoor payment terminal or a credit card reader on board the charging station or manually from the kiosk.
