World’s First Electric Forecourt Opens Up A New Channel For Convenience Retailers

New Post has been published on https://perfectirishgifts.com/worlds-first-electric-forecourt-opens-up-a-new-channel-for-convenience-retailers-2/

World’s First Electric Forecourt Opens Up A New Channel For Convenience Retailers

On the go: Modern retail is a key element of Gridserve’s electric forecourt model.

Electric car charging just got easier in the U.K. with the opening of what is claimed to be the world’s first electric forecourt, complete with five retailers to keep customers happy while their car batteries are topped up.

Deliberately designed to look like a gas station, the site near Braintree in Essex, close to London, can charge 36 vehicles simultaneously and has an ultra-modern ‘Best of British’ retail component tagged on. It features well-known High Street brands: WHSmith, Costa Coffee, supermarket chain Booths, Post Office, and ready meals maker Gourmade.

Other facilities include a waiting lounge, free and fast WiFi, washrooms, a dedicated kid’s area and a wellbeing space complete with—as you might expect—exercise bikes that generate electricity. Business meeting pods are also available at the new test site.

Operator Gridserve, a start-up sustainable energy company, promises a network of over 100 electric forecourts within five years which, as more electric vehicles take to the roads, are likely to increase in size with correspondingly more ambitious retail units and other services attached.

WHSmith operates the shopping space where five retailers are present.

A spokesperson for Gridserve told Forbes.com: “There will be scope to have more retail brands and store space at future locations dependent on demand and the footprint available.” For the foreseeable future, Gridserve will be selecting the brands while WHSmith will manage the retail area in which they operate.

A second electric forecourt site close to the city of Norwich in Norfolk is currently in development which has the retail offer positioned above the charging stations.

Britain has announced a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030 and Gridserve’s entry into the market and $1.3 billion (£1 billion) growth plan represents a breakthrough for large-scale electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the U.K.

Toddington Harper, founder and CEO of Gridserve—together with a long track record in renewable energy—said: “Charging has to be simple and free of anxiety, which is why we’ve designed our electric forecourts entirely around the needs of drivers (by) updating the traditional petrol station model for a net-zero carbon world. It’s actually less expensive to use an electric car than a petrol or diesel alternative.”

Initial charges are just 22 cents per kWh of energy (including VAT), which is claimed to be the lowest ultra-high power charging rate on the market. This means a typical charge from 20% to 80% costs about $9 for an average-size car.

Retailers of all types will be watching this pilot site with interest. Toby Keir, managing director at WHSmith—whose travel retail sites span airports to train stations—said: “We understand how important convenience is to people on the go. We have been serving customers on their journeys for over 200 years and we look forward to playing our part over the next 100 years with the future of electric cars.”

Sales of EVs passed two million vehicles in 2019.

The U.K. government’s commitment to electric vehicles will no doubt support Gridserve’s ambitions for the development of charging infrastructure and associated retail service. James Cleverly, the former Conservative Party chairman and MP for Braintree commented: “This is the most advanced charging facility in the world and (will) drive confidence to make the move to sustainable transport in the U.K.”

The electric forecourts project is being funded by Hitachi Capital (UK) and Innovate UK part of Britain’s national funding agency UKRI; as well as Gridserve. A detailed 2020 study from Deloitte suggests that EVs are here to stay with global sales of battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric cars tipping past two million vehicles for the first time in 2019.

Bank on Beacon aka BOB

Nassau, The Bahamas

The  ATM industry association (ATMIA) estimates that there are about 3   million ATM’s in use globally. That is about 1 ATM per 3000 people.

The  investment in setting up an ATM is quite high. Banks have to pay the   rent for the space. Then there are costs associated with internet,   security and electricity. In addition to the fees associated with card   transactions as well as the equipment charges.

Add  to this the fact that a non trivial amount is spent in the decor of the  ATM room (equipping them with AC’s making sure that they are clean ,  functioning properly and stocked with appropriate cash) and suddenly   ATM’s become mini bank branches in themselves.

As  far as cash disbursal goes ATMs are very effective. They are highly   secure, well tested and widely deployed. Customers understand them and   have no issues in using them. But they are still a cost center for the   banks. And for this reason it is expensive to increase the density of   ATM.

While ATM is  mostly used as a cash disbursal machine it can also serve as a customer  acquisition channel for banks. Since most modern ATMs allow for  withdrawal from cards issued by competitors, the fact that a consumer is  using your ATM gives you an opportunity for cross selling services.

However  ATMs are not designed for uses other than core banking. That is   checking account balance, printing statements, depositing cash etc.   Since they are designed to perform highly specialized activities they   can do little else. An opportunity exists for banks to deploy new cost   effective technology that can help with things where ATM lack.

Workrock  wireless provides wifi beacon technology that can be deployed in secure  banking environment to fill this gap. Our beacons can be used by  financial institutions to deploy portable “Bank on Beacon” or “BOB”   machines for Digitization of financial records for merchants, Education of customers and investors, Compliance management and in handling KYC requirements.

BOB  is compatible with web standards and doesn’t require any special app to  work. BOB is portable and can be placed along side ATM in the same   room. BOB can work offline and doesn't need to use the network of ATM.   Additionally BOB acts as a wireless access point so any customer can   connect to BOB using their own phone and access any services that it has  to offer. BOB can meet PCI DSS wireless LAN security requirements   (Sections 2.1.1, 4.1.1, 9.1.3, 10.5.4, 10.6 and 12.3) [1]

BOB  can be placed in a merchant shop to help them digitize their financial  records. BOB can act as a wireless personal finance manager for   consumers. BOB can be used to advertise banking services in buildings,   airports ,railway stations and stadiums. It can act as a CRM in the bank  office.

BOB can  help with financial inclusion by providing a low cost alternative to  opening a rural bank branch. A BOB placed in a KIOSK can offer key  banking functions for the un-banked. Digital accounts, Document  management and record keeping.

BOB  comes with a built in API so banks don’t need to build their own. BOB can be used for training sales agents and function as an information   kiosk for banking products. BOB is highly customizable and can be easily  used by a bank’s core IT team to program and deploy. BOB can even be   used by non financial institutions to manage customer accounts and   advertise their products in the market place. BOB can do anything that   can be done on the internet. In fact BOB is your very own short range,   mobile network that can be set up on demand.

Any  where you want. Anytime you want it. BOB is your digital representative  in the real world. For any queries regarding BOB email us on

Thailand (episode 1) - Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Pai

And so our journey continues. We awoke in Negombo both excited and slightly anxious given that we had overstayed our visa. This was due to our travel agent not being able to calculate 30 days from the day we arrived in Sri Lanka, but having been told that ‘sometimes its ok’ we decided to turn up hoping for the best!

Well the best came through, and not only did we not get charged for our late departure from the country, we also didn’t have to prove our onward journey from Thailand. We had discussed this in detail during our time at the Teak House, and as it was ‘technically’ a requirement to being allowed into Thailand we thought it best to book flights out of the country into Laos as we’d read that land based crossings, like the 20 hour bus ride, or savage six hour fast boat up the Mekong river, weren’t always accepted.

This is where the problem came about. Spud, bless his cottons, thought that he had found bargain flights into Laos that were half the price of those from Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang. Unbeknownst to him (and Em to be honest), he had searched for ‘nearby airports’ on Skyscanner, not unreasonably assuming that those nearby airports would still be in the blessed country that we wanted to get into! So, he booked them and thankfully we checked them once the confirmation was received. ‘Chiang Mai to Udon Thani’; hold on a second....where the chuff is this place neither of us had read about?! Thailand. He had booked internal flights. Fantastic. Anyway, silver linings and all, we shortly found out that the crossing into Laos from here was only two hours!

Moving on from the faux pas, the flight to Bangkok was easy; no complaints. As soon as we arrived we knew that we were in for a treat. Judging by the airport the country was much more metropolitan than Sri Lanka. We had a smooth entry to the country, but a slightly less smooth entry into Bangkok. For some reason the Bangkok airport website had failed to tell us that the bus we were recommended by them no longer existed, and it turned out the signage in the airport wasn’t so great either. It felt like we did five laps of departures before we worked out where to get the shuttle bus to the bus station (a good 20 minute ride away), only to find that not only the bus, but the actual bus terminal ceased to exist......Spud couldn’t help himself but pull a mini-strop, but we got over that one and organised a taxi to the city instead.

After a short nap at our hostel we headed out to explore some of the city. We walked to Chinatown as we had read it would an excellent place for food, and if London is anything to go by, Chinatown in a capital city is going to be pretty cool. Well Bangkok’s, in our opinion, takes first prize. The place is a hive of activity, with a fantastic atmosphere. We perused a few of the million+ street food vendors picking our starters as we went along. It was amazing to watch all the food being prepared and freshly cooked in front of us, especially after most of the Sri Lankan food had been sitting around for a number of hours and lukewarm at best! Our starters included: Thai savoury pancake - hard to tell the filling but some sort of mini taco pancake filled with something that had a resemblance to dried fish (gross), pork meatballs, moo ping (BBQ pork skewers - our favourite) and crab balls, eventually we decided it was time for mains, and chose a street corner seafood restaurant to eat at.

Shortly after starting our Tom Yum soup, an American couple come and sit next to us, Emily can’t help herself and starts a conversation...we immediately hit it off and spoke about the restaurant and the food, and then onto our travel plans and personal lives. Brendan and Erin are from Colorado and these guys have it nailed; they are away for a year and are essentially getting free keep in between their travel plans, in exchange for looking after pet dogs and working on farms. How good is that?! As the drinks and conversation flowed, we kept on discovering things in common, so when Brendan suggested we head to Khao San Road there was no hesitation in us agreeing. What a night it turned out to be, and what a mad place Khao San Road is! We had a great time slugging on beers and promo buckets of booze whilst being offered all kinds of crazy paraphernalia like fried scorpions, grubs, hats, and various explicit bracelets (Spuds favourite being ‘I heart d**k salad’). At 2am the Brendan paid for the ladies to have a foot massage whilst the boysies had another beer to discuss onward plans. We really hope that we can cross paths again and perhaps meet up in another country! To date we haven’t hit it off with any other travellers as well as these guys, so it was really refreshing to have easy flowing conversation and find out so many things we had in common...we really look forward to seeing them again!

Needless to say we woke up a bit fuzzy the next day, but after a coffee and some breakfast we explored some of the city. Although it doesn’t have many large tourist attractions, Bangkok is a brilliant city for exploring. Rather unfortunately Spud suggested that we headed to a floating market that was only open on the weekends even though it was a Tuesday (he blames the booze) but thankfully our taxi driver was very accommodating (and so was Emily :-) ) and dropped us as the nearby local market that we spent an hour or two wandering and eating/drinking in. The day turned into one of those spent meandering around, and we ended up in the east of the city in two humongous shopping malls, MBK and Terminal 21. MBK seemed to be king of counterfeit goods, jewellery and electrical goods. This was fortuitous given that Emily had drunkenly kneed her phone whilst getting into bed the previous night and smashed her screen - this was the perfect place for a cheap repair! Terminal 21 on the other hand was much more well-to-do. It was airport themed and spread over seven levels, each of which was dedicated to a specific country. Not being shopaholics, you have to trust us when we say the place was really cool. Each elevator had a ‘departure from’ and ‘arrival to’ sign and we ended up in Los Angeles for dinner before calling it a day on the shopping malls.

Figuring we were in Bangkok, we felt obliged to check out the local red light district and ladyboy scene, so we made our way on the Sky Train to Nana Plaza, which is allegedly the biggest adult entertainment plaza in the world. We started off slow by walking around the ground and first floors, given that it gets more and more seedy as you gain floors. We settled on getting a beer at the bar in the middle of the ground floor after getting an eyeful of lingerie and suspiciously small bulges combined with bosoms. Over the next half an hour or so we scoped out the atmosphere, and unlike red light districts in Europe (Amsterdam being one we had both been to), it genuinely felt like an OK thing to partake in. Although male heavy, there were groups of girls visiting the plaza for a drink or two, and off the back of that we decided to actually go into one of the go-go bars! Rainbow was our choice; apparently the oldest in the plaza and often one of the most popular. Unfortunately our expectations (although we are not sure what these were exactly) weren’t really met...it is hands down the weirdest thing we’ve ever done as a couple. Sat in essentially a strip club watching these girls stand and shuffle on a podium was quite excruciatingly awkward. They weren’t even dancing and they all looked so so young; we even watched one girl pick her nose on stage and inspect it...this was our cue and we left half way with our beers in hand to take one final tour around all three floors before heading home.

The next day we got up and out and made for the Grand Palace. We strategically packed a shawl for Spuds legs as we’d learned from Sri Lanka that shoulders and knees for both sexes needed to be covered, but seemingly in Thailand shawls are only allowed for females. So we were forced to buy the fetching baggy pants for him to wear. No biggie; we got the feeling the Palace was going to be good. And good it was. It was by a very long way the best kept, most ornate spectacle we had seen so far. The colour schemes, decoration and architecture were out of this world. Dating back over 700 years, the estate was so well kept that you wouldn’t realise it was this old. It was originally built to both re-locate the royal family and to bring the government buildings together. Some are still used to this day. In particular interest was the Palace itself. Designed by a European architect but stipulated by an Asian, it is the only building in Thailand to adopt a European design at the bottom, with Asian ridges at the top. For those interested it was originally suggested to have three domes above the wings rather than ridges.

The rest of the day was spent cruising the river to get a different perspective of the city, followed by street food on Soi Rambuttri. We left the city at roughly 7:30pm to head for the bus station to organise our journey to Chiang Mai. Bangkok bus station is by far the biggest bus station we have ever seen. We couldn’t get our heads around how many vendors and buses there were. Somehow we managed to find ourselves decent tickets for under £25 for the two of us (including onboard snacks and water), and we left at 8:35pm. The journey was straightforward, other than the coach sneaking off for fuel when we stopped for a break, leaving us dropping bricks wondering where it had got to.

Nevertheless we got to Chiang Mai safely. Our first morning was spent chilling in a local cafe and organising a scooter for the next few days. We ventured out to a local market for some street food for dinner, and made plans for the next day. We were going to head 100km or so into Doi Inthanon national park.

Unfortunately this was a day destined to go wrong. We woke up nice and early to get on the road in order to maximise time in the park, but before leaving the hostel we took our Doxycycline on an empty stomach. A bit of advice; don’t do this. Before even reaching the scooter we were both feeling sick, but thought that it was our hunger making us feel bad. Within 10 minutes we had had to pull over in the car park of a boutique hotel to vomit in sync. We managed to get some breakfast down, and although still feeling rough we took to the road with Doi Inthanon in our GPS. What we (when Spud says “we”, this means “he”) didn’t realise was that the GPS had decided to suggest taking us into the park, but not to the actual entrance where the ‘attractions’ are. So we wound up and up into the hills on these tiny roads and wondered more and more just how the buses full of tourists that had been mentioned in the reviews and blogs that we had read, actually got up these roads. It was only when google told us to take a road that didn’t even exist that we checked where it was taking us to. It turned out to be nowhere near the where we needed to be. Around hour away from the entrance in fact. Thankfully we had plenty of fuel, food and water with us so we cracked on and stopped just below the more popular park entrance an hour later for some lunch. It was at this point that it started raining...we figured that we hadn’t travelled 100km+ to be put off by some rain, so after a quick noodle soup we paid our park entrance fee and headed straight for the summit of the park at just over 2500m, the highest point in Thailand. The rain turned torrential so within minutes were were sopping wet, even though we had our jackets on and Emily was doing her upmost with the umbrella (all the while we were

on the scooter) to shield us from some of the deluge. The poor bike wasn’t doing too well at this time. Spud figured it was the altitude causing problems, so we limped to the top, took a single picture and headed back down.

The rain was too heavy to stop at the other, better looking attractions, so we’re sorry that there aren’t any pictures of these. On the way down the rain eventually stopped and the scooter started to run a bit better as it could now breathe. As we were reaching the park exit, on a steep right handed the scooter gave up the ghost. The miniscule amount of engine breaking we had let go with a little bang and we were all of a sudden freewheeling down the mountain. Great. Cutting a long story short we ended up being stranded for four hours after the mechanic couldn’t source a new drive belt. We were taken back to Chiang Mai on the back of a truck; a journey that took over two hours, most of which was in the rain hiding under a tarpaulin. As we are sure you have guessed by now, we were happy to finish this day.

Thankfully the bike rental place were sympathetic and offered us a chain driven, 150cc manual scooter/bike for the next few days at the same price as the 125cc we had had. Spud gave the bike a proper going over before we left, and after a few adjustments we left for Pai for three days. The journey between Chiang Mai and Pai was out of this world. Just under 800 bends and the surface was top draw, even Emily had a great time!

We both really enjoyed Pai, and it was clear that other travellers and the inhabitants did too. We spent three days exploring the area on our little bike and visited waterfalls, bamboo bridges, hot springs, caves, and the local canyon for sunset on one night. Our evenings were spent gorging on street food on the walking street, and listening to live music that was put on every night in the numerous bars in the area. We returned to Chiang Mai via the same 800 bends that we came on, stopping at a amazing “sticky waterfall” on the way home....an absurdity of nature, the waterfall has deposit calcium material that is grippy enough that you could walk up it: so cool! We arrived back in the city feeling refreshed and thankful that we had been able to put some time into covering the north of Thailand, as it really is so varied and beautiful.

We spent one more night in Chiang Mai as our internal flight was booked for the next day. We felt that we hadn’t given the city much of a chance yet, so we spent most of the next day in the old city buzzing around on the bike and looking at the numerous Wat’s and Government buildings within the old walls. We were picked up at 5pm to be taken to the airport so that we could make our way to Laos!

Until next time! X
