Executive Summary A leading national gas station chain operating over 800 locations commited to deploy EV charging across all locations though quickly ran into significant cost and utility constraints, including multi-year permitting delays. DG Matrix developed a concept, 1 leveraging its Power Router solutions to significantly reduce costs and deployment timelines while improving site performance and resiliency. By implementing the Power Router, we expect to achieve a four-year payback period with nearly 30% CapEx savings and 20% reduction in annual energy costs for a 28% IRR. Challenges The customer faced mounting energy-related issues, including: 1 Costly Multi-year Infrastructure Upgrades: Significant permitting requirements and capital expenditure required to increase utility power for large EV charging loads. High Energy Costs: Rising utility bills due to increasing energy consumption and

peak demand charges, which are expected to grow with the addition of EV charging loads. Resiliency Challenges: Power disruptions that threaten business continuity and potentially turn away valuable customers. Requirements and Priorities The gas station chain outlined several critical priorities for addressing these challenges: Cost Optimization: Reducing both CapEx and OpEx while achieving >17% savings on utility bills. Resiliency: Ensuring uninterruptable 24/7 power Scalability: Deploying solutions that can be standardized across multiple locations and scaled to support future growth, including the addition of EV charging infrastructure. Sustainability Goals: Aligning energy strategies with corporate ESG commitments by integrating renewable energy sources. Simplicity and Speed: Minimizing project complexity, permitting timelines, installation timelines, and disruption to gas station operations.
