Recently, I crafted a pitch deck for a major retail company specializing in truck stops. Based on my understanding of gross profit, gross profit margin, and gross profit ratio I developed a comparison of these key metrics between the traditional product of gasoline/diesel to electricity. The intent of this comparison is to highlight how the generational transportation transformation that we are experiencing as vehicle technology moves from Internal Combustion Engines to Electric is both a threat to the current business model as EV adoption increases as well as an opportunity. The opportunity is the increased profit margin and ratio for selling electricity through charging stations to selling gasoline/diesel through pumps. Truck stops, gas stations, and other retail companies that sell gasoline/diesel have a very slim, no, or negative margin. As vehicles go electric these organizations can both foster the transition by establishing a network of charging stations as well as improve their revenue streams. Furthermore, these organizations can become cost leaders by reducing the COGS (cost of electricity) through implementation of green renewable generation in order to generate their own electricity at a cost lower than the price they pay their local utility. Applying accounting topics at work has improved my prospecting and positively influenced numerous outcomes. I'm looking forward to learning more and using these lessons at work
