Let's all take a moment to appreciate Circle K's fantastic effort. IMO the best thing in EV charging since Tesla Superchargers.

@rickross6368 3 года назад

Better than a lot of tesla superchargers actually, since there’s also a nice store attached to it

@ArnaudContet 3 года назад

Finally somebody realized how to do it. They do a ton of money selling everything but fuel, even to people doing only quick breaks, so to people doing a long stop, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

@larsoleruben 3 года назад

Exactly. They have realized that selling food, coffee, etc will make a super nice extra profit to the electricity sales they also do. And with batteries they can purchase power at night when it is cheap, and sell it during the daytime for with a huge profit. Seems only Circle K is in for it. In denmark we see Circle K and OK doing the same.

@msmith3395 3 года назад

$/hour = visits/hour * $/visit. Charging takes too long and they don't get many visits, too short and people don't spend much. Wonder where the sweet spot is and if they would be discouraged from installing the next crazy fast charging technology. I'm guessing about 15 min charging is about right, long enough for people to grab a coffee and a bite, but keeps the turnover high.

@TransientTRP 3 года назад

When I had a gas car, I would fill up and go. Almost never did I go inside the store. When I'm fast charging my EV, I'm wandering around looking at whatever is nearby. If there's a store like this, I can guarantee I'm going inside and looking around.

@rupe53 3 года назад

@@msmith3395 ... I think your 15 minute analogy for charging is about right for charging. Comparing that to a "gas only stop" on a road trip I just finished, it takes almost 15 minutes to gas up, restroom break, and grab a snack. (2 or more people in the car) OTOH, add in those tables (inviting people to take a break) is a deal changer, and probably jumping the average time up by another 10 minutes. This is where marketing a service will win out and people will spend more money. It's a win for a business in the long run.

@davidshipp623 2 года назад

Yes the great thing about EV’s is the rest break and the fuel break become the same time. It would actually be good to have some slower chargers as well in other parking places, so that those staying for a whole meal have a bit more time. As someone else posted in Bjorn’s eTron GT video, range anxiety is becoming eat anxiety.

Interesting. A Gas station company not treating EV charging as an afterthought. In UK closest we have is Gridserve who have started opening EV only charging stations with the weather cover, amenities etc. Norway is much further down the vehicle electrification route so you would expect gas station companies to have come to the 'adapt or die' realisation.

@RandyTWester 3 года назад

Circle K and Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. started out as food stores. So they aren't as invested in a particular type of energy. Your car could run on a rubber band, the driver probably still buys a coffee.

@@RandyTWester CircleK Norway is just a rebranded "Statoil" the people are the same and Statoil was a gas first company, in 2012 it all started to change by 2016 It was CircleK and Ev was starting to be the main concern, chargers were being put at any station possible, the stations got rebranded from "Gas station" to "Energy station" and new built stations are built with Ev as priority, so technically no here it definitely started off as a Gas station first, food was a after thought

@CoolSilver 3 года назад

I've asked the local petroleum company that operates many gas / convenience stores in my state. They have either ignored or just said they had no plans in EV charging. I can't wait in 10 years to see them rushing to stay in business. We also have Circle K but all them here stopped selling fuel. This is the way to go. If need to build new or just rebuild it can be done. Though many places already had a rebuild in the last 10 years so by time EVs are everywhere in US it will be time to refresh again.

@kimeinvik 3 года назад

It is funny how quickly things change. This station is next to a brand new section of the road. They spent 4 years building it. When the road build was launched, they quickly anounced they would build a gas station there. At that time it was gas only. A little time later, circle k wanted to also add chargers. But local politicians did not want to give up more space. And now, a few years later, this is what we have! Talk about a total turn around! Also Bjørn - the hill you went up on too see the roof, will have a "MAX" burger joint eventually.

@Air-ic279 3 года назад
