Virta for
PETROL RETAILERS
Attract new customers, expand your business and capture coveted EV charging market share.
Unlock new growth opportunities
As a petrol retailer, you are well-suited to offer access to your EV charging network by offering a subscription or one-off access to your charging points with higher prices for ultra fast charging.
With such a subscription, EV drivers can charge beyond your petrol stations’ forecourt – at home, in nearby charging hubs or at their workplace. All of that with one single contract.
Step into EV charging with Virta
Showcase your brand first
Charging is a must-have service for EV drivers. And people tend to do business with companies they trust. The same goes for EV charging: people will want to charge up with brands they trust.
Our charging stations can be fully rebranded to match your brand and our flexible and scalable solution ensures you will get the maximum benefits from EV charging.
With your brand and our comprehensive smart charging solution, it’s a guaranteed win.
Bring in more revenue
Historically, roughly 80% of petrol stations’ revenue has been attributed to fossil fuel sales and 20% to food and beverage sales. Now, we’re seeing a decrease in the share of refuelling revenue as the volume of EVs on the road grows.
EV drivers spend an average of 20 minutes on stations’ premises when using fast chargers. During that time, it’s only natural for them to use nearby services such as fast-food restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores.
As a result, petrol stations can expect up to 60% of their income to come from such services in the near future.
Expand your business model
The EV charging business doesn’t have to stop at petrol stations. The golden opportunity here is that petrol retailers can offer EV charging to several different locations with a single contract.
By registering as your customer, the EV driver will be able to charge their electric cars wherever they are: at a gas station (or other retail location), at home, or at the office.
Why Virta?
Fastest time to value with the lowest risks
Building an EV charging business requires an immense amount of time and resources. With Virta as a partner, we have what you need to be up and running in a matter of days instead of months. No risk of losing market share to your competitors.
We connect you with the demand
Virta's extensive charging network gives you instant access to thousands of EV driver customers. Every new registered driver on our platform is a potential customer for you and every new charging station that gets added provides more value to your customers.
Grow your business while saving on costs
In a traditional business, you’d need to rely on several contractors to provide a comprehensive solution and network. With Virta, you only have one contract — which minimises the cost for you. And as the number of charging sessions increases, your expenses won’t.
