Webinar | The 2026 State of Retail-First EV Charging
EV fast charging performance isn't random. It's driven by where a station sits, what's around it, and whether the hardware works.
In this webinar, we unpack the findings from the 2026 State of Retail-First EV Charging, a joint report from Electric Era, Paren, and TEI that analyzed over 4,000 DC fast charging stations across the United States.
You will learn:
- Which retail formats drive the highest EV charger utilization
- How amenity density compounds performance
- Why reliability is worth more than location, and what an unreliable station costs your brand
- How the ownership model changes the business outcome: what retailers give up in a host model, and what they gain by owning
Whether you're early in your EV charging evaluation or looking to restructure an existing program, this session will give you a sharper framework for making decisions that align with your long-term retail strategy.
When: June 30th, 2026 @ 10am PDT
Speakers:
- John Eichberger, Executive Director, Transportation Energy Institute
- Florent Breton, Co-Founder & CEO, Paren
- Alex Agne, Account Executive, Electric Era
