FAQs

Quick answers to questions you may have

Discover everything about the StreetLight’s fuel retail and EV charging features, benefits, and more.

What is location intelligence, and why is it crucial for EV charging?

Location intelligence refers to data gathered on the activity of potential customers at or near a particular location, which businesses may use to evaluate where demand for their products and services may be highest, and determine the optimal operations to maximize revenue at existing locations within their real estate portfolio.

When it comes to EV charging, location intelligence analytics such as vehicle volumes, Origin-Destination patterns, trip speeds, travel times, and other data can provide businesses information on where and when EV drivers are likely to stop and charge, how long they will charge, and how charging behaviors will impact the electric grid.

How to find the optimal placement of EV charging stations?

Understanding existing driving patterns is key to finding the optimal placements for EV charging stations. Data on how far people tend to drive, the routes they take, the time spent idling during their trip, and the EV market penetration rates for a given area can all be used to measure current charging demand in a specific location as well as predict how that demand will change as EV adoption rises. This can help businesses and agencies deploy new EV charging stations where demand is high and existing infrastructure is not already available to meet that demand.

How does location intelligence for fuel retail work?

Fuel retailers can use StreetLight’s EV location intelligence to take a data-driven approach when choosing the best new store locations, predicting fuel sales, evaluating the pros and cons of adding new products and services (including EV charger installation), optimizing staffing operations, and more.

StreetLight’s vehicle activity data not only assists fuel retailers in making critical revenue-impacting decisions but also enables them to differentiate between truck and personal vehicle activity to accurately gauge demand for various fuel types in a given area.

What are the benefits of using location intelligence for EV charging?

Leveraging location data for EV charging not only enables businesses and agencies to identify the most impactful and profitable locations for new EV chargers, it also enhances communication with public and private stakeholders, helps inform charging fee structures, forecasts when and where infrastructure upgrades or repairs may be needed, and can be used to anticipate grid load to ensure electric supply is always available to meet customer demand.
