Fuel retailers in charge – how service stations fit in the era of electromobility?

Carbon-based fuel demand across Europe is declining as EV adoption accelerates, driven by ambitious climate targets and the push for fleet electrification. This structural shift is prompting fuel retailers to diversify away from their core fossil-fuel businesses, resulting in station operators developing their non-fuel side and installing EV chargers at thousands of locations. In our report, we share our forecast for the number of public EV chargers, examine the key strengths service station operators can build on to compete in the era of electromobility, and compare the profitability of electric charging and fuel sales at service stations.
