That\u2019s right, the e-mobility experience. E-mobility is short for electromobility, which includes any type of transportation\u2014cars, bikes, buses, boats, etc.\u2014that\u2019s partially or fully powered by electricity. Whether you\u2019re traveling by land, sea, or air, e-mobility transportation draws its power from the electric grid and stores it onboard as an energy resource.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the Marketing and Education senior leader at PDI, I\u2019m ingrained in the convenience ecosystem with fuel retailers of all sizes, the logistics providers and wholesalers who support them, popular CPG brands, and many other stakeholders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A big part of my job is to anticipate (and champion) how the convenience industry will evolve and facilitate the energy transition\u2014noting that fuel dispensers and EV chargers will coexist for the foreseeable future. As a hands-on learner, I recently purchased my first electric vehicle (EV) to get a real firsthand experience with e-mobility.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive in, I\u2019d like to preface this entire experiment with the fact that I\u2019m not a car aficionado. I\u2019m pragmatic in that I learn the least amount of information possible to operate safely when driving. And I\u2019m not easily impressed by vehicles (I was recently with a friend in their \u201cfancy\u201d car, but I didn\u2019t even realize just how unique the car was until a complete stranger bumped me out of the way to take a selfie with said car).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I know quite a bit about the <a href=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/ev-emobility\/\">data regarding e-mobility growth<\/a> and how the convenience industry is evolving to support EV and alternative fuels, I wasn\u2019t overly interested in expediting my own personal EV adventure. But then my family\u2019s car lease ran out, and it turns out I\u2019m married to a tree-hugging hippie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like me, you might not be a car person. But maybe like my husband, you care about reducing your carbon footprint. No matter your personal point of view, it\u2019s likely that you have some level of curiosity around how our society will get from Point A to Point B in the energy transition. And the latest statistics surrounding sustainability and EV reflect that interest:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>75% of consumers would fill up at a gas station that offers carbon offsetting (<a href=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/ev-emobility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PDI Technologies<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Annual EV sales in the US are on track to surpass one million for the first time (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coxautoinc.com\/market-insights\/q1-2023-ev-sales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cox Automotive<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>China and Europe are the largest EV markets: 60% of global electric car sales occur in China, and more than one in every five cars sold in Europe in 2022 was electric, thanks in part to European Union legislation regarding new CO<sub>2<\/sub> standards (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/global-ev-outlook-2023\/executive-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Energy Agency<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>70% of US consumers are considering buying or leasing, or already have, an EV (<a href=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/ev-emobility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PDI Technologies<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mbm-spacer mbm-spacer__16 wp-block-mbm-responsive-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog post is just the first in a series where I\u2019ll reveal what I\u2019m learning about the energy transition and my own personal EV journey.
