NACS and TEI Future of Mobility Summit

The disruption of global supply flows has impacted how the world obtains necessary supplies, and some countries are restructuring how they obtain oil and refined products. The implications for the domestic energy market will continue for months, if not years. How will the new geopolitical landscape affect availability, supply and price of transportation energy products?

Now that the mid-term elections are in the rearview mirror, this session will provide an overview of what the political landscape could look like for the next two years. NACS experts will share their views on the next phase of legislative and regulatory actions and the potential impact on fuel retailers.

What consumers drive influences the types of products and energy sources that retailers sell. Although the hype around electric vehicles has faded, OEMs have not abandoned their EV strategies. Furthermore, automakers are focusing more on internal combustion engine vehicles, and the market for fuel-efficient hybrids is rapidly expanding. This session presents a data-centric, objective evaluation of how the vehicle market is evolving.

NASCAR has a passionate fan base of more than 80 million people who do more than watch races—they engage with the brands. During this session, the organizations that power NASCAR vehicles and race more than a half a million miles a year will discuss the importance of collaboration and the value of successful partnerships. It’s a great segway into the networking reception at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Digital innovation is changing consumers’ path to purchase, and dashboard technology is directly affecting destination and route selections. As a greater reliance on AI enables consumers to place orders and complete transactions via voice applications, hear how retailers can ensure they are part of the decision tree.

A question on every business owner’s mind is how to make money on EV charging. Leveraging empirical data from TEI, NACS, and real-world experience from a leading EV charging company, this session will provide a realistic picture about the economics of EV charging and the features retailers can leverage to create a profitable business model.

Most vehicles on the road are internal combustion engine vehicles, and liquid fuels will remain the dominant energy source for transportation for decades. However, the market will evolve, political winds will shift, vehicle efficiency will improve, and a focus on clean fuels and emissions will return. Hear what these shifts could mean for your business, and potential adjustments that capitalize on future opportunities.

The global transition of transportation energy is not uniform—it hits different markets in waves. While North America's clean energy and vehicle transition has temporarily stalled, retailers in other regions are experiencing high EV adoption, aggressive low-carbon policies and changing consumer behaviors. Hear from those who are navigating these global shifts and what they could mean for convenience and fuel retailers in other markets.

A panel of retailers will dive into the topics discussed throughout the Summit and outline an action plan to help retailers evaluate and modify their business strategies.
