Gas stations & convenience stores

Your lot can earn while drivers shop.

Revio puts public EV charging on gas station and c-store sites. Drivers pay at the stall, spend twenty to thirty minutes on your lot, and walk into your store while they wait. The chargers and the revenue stay with you.

  • Host-owned · open to the public
  • Level 2 · DC fast to 500 kW
  • Grants & utility incentives filed in house
  • No site visit for the first pass

Owner to owner

The gallon doesn’t carry the site. The store does.

You already know how thin and how volatile fuel margin is. EV charging gives the lot a second fuel line and gives the store a customer with time to kill.

01 · Fuel margin

A second fuel line, priced by you

Drivers pay per kilowatt-hour at the stall, at a price you set. It is revenue from a fuel your pumps can’t sell, on equipment you own.

02 · Foot traffic

Twenty to thirty minutes, next to your door

A DC fast session runs twenty to thirty minutes for most of a charge. That is long enough to walk in, buy something and walk back out before the car is ready, and that sale lands in your register, not on the charging meter.

03 · The parking lot

Income from asphalt you already own

A public station, listed in the navigation apps drivers already use and open to anyone who pulls in. Not a lease to a network and not a revenue share: the stalls and their revenue sit on your books.

Store sales from charging drivers depend on your site, your layout and your store. We treat them as upside, never as a number in your quote.

Paying for it

Grants and utility money first. Credits only where they exist.

Revio’s in-house incentive team finds what your site can apply for and writes the applications. We tell you what is available in your state, and what isn’t.

Grants & utility incentives

Offset the cost before you build

Federal, state, utility and air-district programs can offset a large share of installed cost. Utility make-ready programs can fund the electrical work, equipment grants can offset the hardware, and NEVI corridor solicitations fund fast charging along designated highways.

Which ones apply depends on your state, your utility and the funding window. Awards are competitive, rounds open and close, and none of them is guaranteed, which is why we apply before anything is built. See the programs we track in your state →

Clean-fuel credits

California, Oregon and Washington only

Three states run a clean fuel standard that pays credits on metered electricity dispensed into vehicles. In California the Low Carbon Fuel Standard pays the registered owner of the charging equipment, so on a host-owned station the credits are yours.

Everywhere else, credits stay out of your numbers. Where credits do apply, prices float with the market and nothing is guaranteed. How the credits work →

Eligibility and results vary by site, utility and program window. Credit programs are administered by the California Air Resources Board, Oregon DEQ and the Washington Department of Ecology. Nothing here is tax, legal or investment advice.

How it works

From your address to a fixed-scope quote.

01

Site check

Send us the address. We screen it remotely against utility territory, service capacity, parking layout, traffic and the programs open to you. No site visit for the first pass.

02

Model

Utilization, charging revenue, credits where they apply and the incentive stack, with every assumption stated and yours to audit.

03

Fixed-scope quote

A scoped quote with incentive capture and net cost side by side. Yours to keep either way.

04

Build

Revio runs engineering, permitting, utility interconnection and incentive filings. Licensed, insured trade partners we vet install it under a contract directly with you.

Site check

Check if your station qualifies.

Tell us where the station is. We screen the site and come back with what it can support and which programs it can apply for.

Straight answers

What station owners ask first.

Who owns the chargers?

You do. Under a host agreement a network leases your stalls, owns the equipment and pays you rent. Revio develops the station as your asset instead, so the charging revenue, any clean-fuel credits and the equipment itself stay with the property.

Which chargers make sense at a gas station?

Usually DC fast charging. Level 2 suits places where cars park for hours, like hotels and offices; a short convenience stop is fast charging’s territory. The site check tells us what your electrical service and lot can support.

Where do the stalls go?

Where a driver can see the store from the stall and walk to it without moving the car. Stall count and placement are drawn to your lot and your existing service during the site check and the model.

Are LCFS credits available in my state?

Only in California, Oregon and Washington, the three states with an operating clean fuel standard that credits EV charging. Everywhere else your numbers rest on charging revenue and the grants and utility programs open to your site.

Do drivers need a Tesla to use the chargers?

No. Sites are configured as public charging open to any driver who pulls in. With the industry converging on the NACS connector and adapters bridging CCS vehicles, a well-specified site serves effectively the whole passenger EV fleet.

How long does a project take?

The schedule is usually set by the utility, not construction. Service upgrades and interconnection studies commonly run months and depend on the utility’s queue and transformer availability, which is why we file the utility application at the start and run permitting, incentive filings and design in parallel.

Is any of this guaranteed?

No. Grant programs have windows and budgets, credit prices float with the market, and store sales from charging drivers depend on your site. Every figure in your quote is a stated assumption you can audit, not a promise.
