As part of its efforts to diversify into more alternative fuels, Global Partners has activated its first company-owned electric vehicle charging station. The DC fast-charging station is located at Global’s XtraMart convenience and fueling station in Worcester, Massachusetts.
The company has two additional EV charging station sites with chargers owned by another entity, as well as a solar canopy and six more charging stations currently under construction.
In addition, Global has hired experts in electrification and renewable fuels, and it has launched a student competition, Fuel the Future, designed to inspire ideas for future fueling stations. The competition will award scholarships to the top three winners.
