EV Charging in Minutes, not Hours
By 2025, EVs will make up 10% of all new cars sold. And in the US, the government is planning to dramatically accelerate that trend, investing hundreds of millions of dollars at the state and federal level into renewable infrastructure for a zero emissions future. A pessimist might say this trend presents an existential threat to gas stations, but in reality, it provides an opportunity for business owners to modernize their infrastructure with EV charging stations, and, in doing so, assure their future as a vital part of a clean, 21st century economy.
The Solution - The EV Recharge Zone
At the Renewable Innovations’ Recharge Zone, drivers plug their cars into hydrogen-powered EV Rapid Charge Stations, providing a fast, clean, full recharge with a minimal carbon footprint. What makes these recharge zones COMPLETELY different from the chargers you now see at parking lots is that they are capable of fully recharging a car or truck in approximately 20 minutes. And since they are powered with hydrogen, these EV Rapid Charge Stations can be co-located at convenience stores and gas stations without any dependency on utility grid power. That means they can rapidly charge EVs everywhere!
PLUG IN, REFUEL, RECHARGE, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
Capitalize on Existing Consumer Habits
Humans are creatures of habit. We’re accustomed to going to the gas station as a routine part of driving a car. Why should it be any different for EV owners? We don’t install gas pumps at our homes - why do we need to install fast chargers there?
While drivers recharge their cars, they often need to refuel themselves, which is why the convenience store is present at practically every gas station in the country. Whether they want a quick bite to eat, a bottle of water, or an energy drink to stay alert, drivers depend on these added features to their refueling.
Now, forward-thinking gas stations and convenience stores can have the unique window to offer a comfortable, familiar experience to EV owners, making the most of their existing driver habits.
Better Business for a Better Future
Under this model, gas stations and convenience stores would have access to two major streams of revenue. First, consumers will pay an EV charging fee (just like they’re used to paying for gas at the pump), and second, they will spend money inside the convenience store while they wait for their car to fully charge. The average customer spends $4.12 on extra items when they refill - and the number is almost double that for some convenience stores like Wawa. All of those gas station and convenience stores owners will lose out on that growing spend from EV owners.
In this moment of rapid technological development and innovation, businesses have a wide-open opportunity to accelerate clean mobility and modernize by installing Renewable Innovations’ Hydrogen-powered EV Rapid Charging systems. Moreover, if they are prepared to capitalize on existing consumer habits, this cleaner, zero emissions future will also be a bright future for business.
