Sheetz is adding EV charging and energy management software from Driivz, a Vontier company based in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Altoona, Pennsylvania-based Sheetz has more than 125 charging stations across seven states through third-party operators. Vontier currently provides infrastructure for most Sheetz locations, including fuel dispensers, automatic tank gauges and submersible turbine pumps.

As part of a broader strategy to enhance the EV charging experience, Sheetz is also launching its own EV charging solution designed to deepen customer engagement and make charging an integrated part of the Sheetz ecosystem. 

The interoperability of the software will allow Sheetz to connect charging operations directly through its mobile app with features like loyalty rewards, real-time session tracking and digital receipts. The software also supports intelligent on-site energy management to balance loads in real time and optimize charging performance. 

“Providing a convenient and rewarding experience for every customer is core to who we are,” said Trevor Walter, executive vice president of petroleum supply management at Sheetz. “EV drivers already choose our stores because of the amenities and services we provide. This partnership allows us to build on that trust—making charging a seamless extension of the Sheetz experience, while delivering the same consistency and value customers expect each time they visit.”

Sheetz had 770 convenience stores as of Jan. 1. It has recently expanded in Michigan
