"When it comes to both gas stations and EV charging, the big names get most of
the attention. Tesla, Electrify America, EVgo, and others are what people think
of first for EV charging, largely because just about everyone has either
charged at one or seen one.
But, on the gas and diesel side, the vehicle fueling industry isn’t as
dominated by the big names as one might think. Sure, there’s often a sign out
front that says something like Shell, Chevron, Sinclair or Buc-ee’s, but the
station itself is often owned by a local family. Many run only one station, or
just a few locally or regionally.
As expensive and difficult as EV rapid charging can be, it seems like something
only the big dogs can really do right, while everyone else has to stay on the
porch and hope the big players get it right. Two charging stations I recently
visited challenge this assumption and show us that it doesn’t have to be like
this. EV charging is something that local families can get into without taking
a corporate job at one of the big players."
