As electric vehicles (EVs) become a mainstream choice for drivers across Ireland, forecourts—whether along motorways or in local towns—are emerging as crucial hubs in the charging infrastructure network. With the rise of EVs, petrol stations are facing the challenge of adapting to new demands. Installing EV chargers at forecourts is not just about keeping pace with the future; it’s about positioning your business as a leader in the evolving transport landscape.
Here’s why forecourts should invest in EV chargers today:
With Ireland set to reach 1 million EVs on the road by 2030, the demand for public charging stations is rising sharply. Drivers of electric vehicles are already looking for convenient places to charge their cars, and forecourts, often located along key travel routes, are ideal spots to meet this need.
By providing EV chargers, petrol stations can become integral parts of the national charging network, offering essential services for a growing customer base.
As the automotive industry transitions to electric, petrol stations that fail to adapt risk losing relevance. The market for traditional fuel is shrinking as more drivers make the switch to electric.
By installing EV chargers, forecourts can continue to serve their customers and ensure they remain a key part of the motoring experience, meeting the needs of both petrol and electric vehicle owners.
Providing the convenience of EV charging at your forecourt can enhance the overall customer experience. As electric vehicles become more common, drivers will increasingly expect charging options on long journeys.
Offering EV chargers allows customers to continue using your forecourt as a one-stop-shop for both fuel and charging. This level of convenience can drive repeat business, as EV drivers will favour stations that offer this service, building customer loyalty.
As part of a broader global movement towards reducing carbon emissions, forecourts that install EV chargers are demonstrating their commitment to sustainability. This not only helps the environment but also appeals to eco-conscious consumers who prioritise businesses with green practices.
By providing this service, petrol stations show they are forward-thinking, ready to embrace the future of transportation, and supporting national environmental goals.
While installing EV chargers requires initial investment, it also opens up significant opportunities for additional revenue. With pay-per-use charging models, forecourts can generate income from drivers who need to charge their vehicles while on the road.
This new service could prove profitable, especially if charging stations are located along high-traffic routes, ensuring consistent demand. EV chargers can also encourage more customers to stop at your forecourt, increasing footfall and boosting sales of other items.
EGO EV offers high-quality, Irish-made EV chargers designed specifically for forecourts. Our reliable, easy-to-install charging solutions are perfect for petrol stations looking to future-proof their services. With local expertise and ongoing support, we make it easy for forecourts to integrate EV charging into their operations.
