Gilbarco Veeder-Root Launches Konect 400 kW All‑in‑One Charging Platform Delivering Faster, Simpler Retail Charging

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gilbarco Veeder-Root, a Vontier (NYSE: VNT) company, today announced the launch of the Konect 400 kW All‑in‑One EV Charger, the first ultra‑fast platform purpose‑built for fuel and convenience retail. Combining charging performance with a single, integrated payment and operations solution, Konect enables a seamless customer experience across traditional fueling and electric charging.

“EV charging becomes complicated when applications, payment systems and vendors differ from traditional fueling operations,” said Merrick Glass, President of Konect at Gilbarco Veeder-Root. “Our All-in-One 400 kW EV Charger is a game changer. It delivers an ultra-fast charge, while integrating consistent payment and software management systems that make electrification intuitive for both drivers and operators.”

Why forecourts need a different kind of charger

Current EV charging systems force retailers to manage multiple apps, fragmented hardware and disparate vendors, creating unnecessary complications and inconsistent driver experiences. Previous ultra‑fast chargers have promised speed, but failed to deliver the reliability, manageability and integrated commerce solutions that forecourts and c-stores require for driver adoption.

The Konect 400 kW platform addresses those problems by prioritizing:

• Consistency: Integrated hardware and software, from forecourt to convenience store, deliver a single, seamless payment and loyalty experience at the point of charge.
• Day‑one integration: Custom APIs and deployment tools reduce complexity, enabling rapid pilot and commercial rollouts.
• Driver confidence: Ultra‑fast 400 kW charging and a consistent user experience, paired with Konect’s Uptime Assurance, a premium service that ensures a 98% uptime target, enhances throughput and reduces failed charging events.
• Business operations: Simplified operations reduce vendor overhead and delivers the customer experience retailers need to compete in a fast‑moving mobility market.

The future of charging is not just fast – it’s familiar

Konect’s platform reduces operational complexity, enhances customer satisfaction and enables retailers to capture the revenue and loyalty benefits of electrification without reworking their business models.

“Power is only part of the story,” Glass added. “The Konect platform is designed to fit your business and preferred charging hardware, not the other way around. By integrating Invenco’s FlexPay 6 payment platform into the charging technology, we’ve created a consistent customer experience and readied our retailers for a multi-energy future.”

System reliability, simplicity and connectivity drive customer behavior. Konect’s 2025 Driver Survey found that nearly one-third of EV drivers report avoiding sites with unreliable or confusing chargers. Konect’s digital platform can be integrated from the forecourt to the convenience store, giving customers a seamless experience and enabling retailers to tie charging platforms to store loyalty programs.

Availability

The Konect 400 kW All‑in‑One EV Charger is available now for pilot deployments and commercial orders. Retailers and energy partners interested in demonstrations, technical briefings or pilot programs are encouraged to contact Konect sales.
