How should petroleum marketers plan remaining a relevant energy provider to consumers as drivers migrate to electric vehicles?
The Federal government and myriad states continue to plow forward in setting new laws and providing consumer incentives to push the market towards a critical mass of electric vehicles. For petroleum marketers, the change in how vehicles will “fuel” is a cause for transformation as well. Do petroleum marketers want to maintain their relationships with their current fuel customers and provide charging stations for them to continue to come to their sites?
Remote ordering and curbside pickup arrived quickly during the pandemic- what will merchants deliver next?
The COVID-19 pandemic brought an acute need to quickly implement remote ordering, delivery and curbside pickup, along with flexible online payment options. Having forever relied on customers coming into their locations to buy items and interact directly, their very survival was on the line. Speed to implement became the sole criteria, with thoughts about customers, operational needs, and back-office impacts cast to the side. Merchants are now taking stock of the multiple gaps these fast-paced minimum viable solution implementations created.
How should petroleum marketers think about electric vehicles and their impact?
As the number of electric vehicles on the road begins to climb, gas station operators need to begin thinking about how they will keep consumers who have long filled up their gasoline engines on their lots. For petroleum marketers looking to be early movers, the lack of mass adoption of electric vehicles, combined with differing charging products available in the market, make it difficult to come up with a clear strategy.
