Gilbarco Veeder-Root has launched the Konect 400 kW all-in-one EV charger platform, designed specifically for fuel and convenience retail operations. The platform is built to address the integrated payment, software, and operations needs of forecourts and convenience stores transitioning to support EV charging.
The Konect charger delivers up to 400 kW of charging power and is engineered as a unified hardware and software system. It supports a single, integrated payment and loyalty platform at the charging point, aiming to streamline operations for retail environments typically accustomed to traditional fueling.
The system incorporates Invenco’s FlexPay 6 payment technology to provide unified payment functionality for both EV charging and fuel transactions. Its custom application programming interfaces (APIs) and deployment tools are designed to simplify integration with existing retail operations, enabling rapid pilot and commercial rollouts.
The company says that the charger targets a 98 percent uptime, supported by its “Uptime Assurance” premium service, which is intended to maximize throughput and reduce failed charging events.
The platform is intended to minimize the complexity retailers face when adopting ultra-fast EV charging by delivering a consistent customer experience and reducing the need for multiple apps, hardware and vendor solutions.
The system is available now for pilot deployments and commercial orders, with retailers and energy partners invited to request demonstrations or technical briefings.
“EV charging becomes complicated when applications, payment systems and vendors differ from traditional fueling operations,” said Merrick Glass, President of Konect at Gilbarco Veeder-Root. “Our All-in-One 400 kW EV Charger is a game changer. It delivers an ultra-fast charge, while integrating consistent payment and software management systems that make electrification intuitive for both drivers and operators.”
