Vontier’s Driivz Selected by Sheetz to Support EV Charging Network Growth
Vontier Corporation (NYSE: VNT), a leading global provider of critical technologies and solutions to connect, manage and scale the mobility ecosystem, announced today that Driivz, a Vontier company and leading global software supplier to electric vehicle (EV) charging operators and service providers, will partner with Sheetz, one of the fastest-growing, family-owned and -operated convenience retailers in the United States, to power its growing EV charging network with advanced EV charging and energy management software.
Sheetz has already established itself as a trusted EV charging destination, with more than 125 charging stations across seven states through third-party operators. As part of a broader strategy to enhance the EV charging experience, Sheetz is launching its own EV charging solution designed to deepen customer engagement and make charging an integrated part of the Sheetz ecosystem. Following a competitive selection process, Driivz was selected for its ability to scale with the network and support the customer-first mindset that defines the Sheetz brand.
The decision builds on Sheetz’s ongoing partnership with Vontier and ability to provide connected, integrated solutions at its locations. Vontier currently provides critical infrastructure for the majority of Sheetz locations, including fuel dispensers, automatic tank gauges and submersible turbine pumps.
“Providing a convenient and rewarding experience for every customer is core to who we are,” said Trevor Walter, EVP 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.”
The Driivz software ensures the Sheetz team can optimize its operations by monitoring network health to maintain stability and availability of chargers for its EV customers. The interoperability of the software allows 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. Together, these capabilities position Sheetz to deliver a reliable, connected charging solution that’s built to scale with the evolving needs of EV drivers.
“Vontier and Sheetz share a passion for customer satisfaction, and we understand the importance of providing a positive driver experience,“ said Andrew Bennett, Group President of Convenience Retail and CEO of Driivz. “Ensuring service continuity and a seamless charging experience for drivers is how we achieve that goal. Driivz is able to remotely address charger issues in real-time and better manage energy delivery to optimize charger uptime. This end-to-end control of the network can increase utilization rates and provide an elevated driver experience.”
“What Sheetz is doing is a real-world example of energy expansion and how we are meeting our customers where they are on their energy journey,” added Mark Morelli, President and CEO, Vontier. “It’s a blueprint for how successful companies can deploy EV charging as part of their overall energy solution and provide a consistent customer experience across the forecourt.”
