West Coast Climate Pact will lead to more electric vehicles there
The US states of Washington, California, Oregon, as well as the Canadian province of British Columbia are now part of a climate pact that is intended to rein in greenhouse gas emissions and fight global warming.
What is the impact on retail fuel pricing? Part of the pact includes encouraging the use of electric vehicles in that geographical area. And that means two things: continued trending toward lower fuel volumes sold in those markets, and opportunities for c-stores to add electric charging to their product line.
Forward thinking c-stores like PriceAdvantage customer Spinx have been early adapters adding electric vehicle charging stations to their product portfolio back in 2010. The Spinx Company is focused on making life easier for their customers, and electric charging stations are part of that vision.
Retail fuel marketers in this area can either wring their hands as they see their fuel market continue to shrink, or they can embrace the change and offer electric charging stations to gain some of these new customers.
