Webinar with Circle K and Visa: EV charging, fleet payments and the forecourt
The Future of Fuel & Convenience Retail
Global EV research, Visa fleet insights and a candid update from Circle K.
Wednesday 9 December, 1–2pm GMT.
The forecourt is changing fast. EV charging is growing, customer expectations are shifting and fleet payments remain a headache for many retailers.
Join Insight Research, Visa and Circle K for a one-hour global webinar on what this means for how forecourts operate, compete and make money.
Insight Research: the global picture of EV charging strategy
Dan Munford, CEO of Insight Research, shares headline findings from our global EV charging strategy research, based on in-depth interviews with CEOs and senior leaders at leading fuel retailers and charge point operators across Scandinavia, China, the UK, Germany, Ireland and North America. Find out what the most mature EV markets are teaching everyone else, and what it means for forecourt design, site operations and the wider retail offer.
Visa: turning fleet payments into a commercial opportunity
Markus Naumer shares Visa’s latest research among European fuel retailers: why fragmented systems, fraud and slow settlement hold retailers back, and how modern fleet cards can attract new customers and lift spend beyond fuel. He’ll also introduce Visa Fleet 2.0 and how faster settlement can improve cash flow and cut acceptance costs.
Circle K: winning on experience, not just electrons
With around 6,000 charge points worldwide and its European network up almost 30% year on year, Circle K is one of the industry’s most active EV players. Håkon Stiksrud, VP of Global eMobility, explains why hardware alone won’t decide the winners, why charger uptime is tracked alongside fuel pumps and coffee machines, and why sites with a store and amenities outperform standalone charging parks. We’ll also ask him:
- Why does Scandinavia still lead, and where is Central Europe catching up?
- What’s his read on North America and the IONNA partnership?
- Will charger power go past 400kW, and do real-world speeds match the spec sheet?
Whether you’re building an EV charging strategy, strengthening your fleet proposition or rethinking the role of your forecourt, this session offers a practical, global view of what’s next.
