Highlights
COMMENT: Fuel Finder may achieve the opposite of its intended outcomes
Fuel Finder has been subject to so much coverage that one should talk about column yards rather than inches. But in the hubbub surrounding the scheme’s launch, little heed has been paid to whether it will achieve its aims.
FOCUS ON EV CHARGING: Time to plug in?
Love them or loathe them – EVs are not going away any time soon. Many forecourts have embraced the EV charging challenge and now have chargepoints on their sites. Others are still debating about if and when to add chargepoints. The problem is, it’s not as simple as just deciding to have them and giving them a go.
MONEY TALK: The unintended consequences of Fuel Finder
Today’s launch of Fuel Finder is likely to speed up price movements at the pump between local competitors, which could result in consequences that the proponents of the system never intended, warns industry commentator Jan Mikula.
FOCUS ON TANKS AND PIPEWORK: Going underground
Forecourt retailers are renowned for reinvesting in and future-proofing their sites – and this includes the bits the public never see.
