Tech Bytes: Four Ways An EV Charging Station Can Give Your Business A Boost

How An EV Charging Station Can Give Your Business A Boost

By Nicole Matchett

With rising gas prices and the world turning to electrification for a greener, cleaner future, Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their charging infrastructure have never been so hot!

I’m sure you’ve noticed the influx of charging stations throughout Windsor Essex, and though many EV drivers charge up at home, accessibility to public charging infrastructure is, and will continue to remain, very important.

So, what can you do to help?

Are you a business owner? Are you interested in meeting more of your customer’s needs and increasing revenue, all while contributing to a greener, cleaner community?

If so, here are some of the many benefits of installing EV charging stations for your business . . .

1. Increases sales within your store.

Not only will you meet the needs of your current customers as they transition to electric, but you will also attract new customers.

While they’re charging up, they will likely spend more time and money in your store.

Over time, you’ll also see a profit being generated at the stations themselves. And remember, they remain open even when you’re closed for the day.

It’s truly a win-win — your business thrives and customers are happy!

2. Puts your business on the map, literally.

The main way to find an EV charger is through different apps, like PlugShare and ChargeHub. EV drivers often plan their trips and shopping locations based on where they can charge up.

So, if your business has an active EV charger, drivers will see this via the app and consider your business as a charging stop.

If they choose you, there is a good chance they’ll pop in to shop around while they’re juicing up their ride!

3. Enables you to stay ahead of your competition.

EV charging stations are a hot commodity!

The Government of Canada has the very ambitious and exciting goal of zero-emissions by 2050, with all new passenger vehicles and light-duty truck sales being 100% electric by 2035.

In less than 15 years, a very large chunk of the population will be driving electric.

Goodbye gas stations and hello chargers!

Your business will be ahead of the game and already have an excellent reputation in the community!

4. The environment will thank you.

Together we can make the changes needed to create a healthier environment for future generations.
