Guaranteed Irish forecourt members Applegreen, Certa, and Circle K are adapting to the shift to electric vehicles.

From fast, reliable charging to welcoming on-site experiences, these forecourts are putting customers and communities first, supporting Ireland’s move to sustainable mobility.

Decarbonising transport remains central to Ireland’s climate targets.

Passenger cars alone account for almost half of transport emissions, and national policy aims to have over 845,000 electric vehicles (EVs) on the road by 2030.

After a period of slower uptake in 2024 due to shifting incentives, EV adoption has regained momentum.

Registrations in September 2025 were 73% higher than the previous year. As more drivers make the switch, the role of Ireland’s forecourts is evolving rapidly.

Forecourts at the heart of communities

Guaranteed Irish members Applegreen, Certa and Circle K play a vital role in communities across the country.

Beyond supplying fuel and convenience services, they support local jobs, sustain regional economies, and foster a sense of place within the areas they serve.

Their evolution in response to new mobility trends reflects the Guaranteed Irish belief that members can drive positive change in the communities in which they live.

Seeing these forecourts embrace sustainability, invest in future-ready infrastructure, and continue to prioritise local impact demonstrates these values in action.

Adapting to a changing market

The shift to EVs has required forecourts to rethink how they serve customers.

Applegreen has focused on ensuring that charging is both reliable and intuitive.

‘Having trained staff available 24/7 to assist with EV-related queries has strengthened customer confidence, making charging convenient and dependable,’ the company notes.

By pairing widespread charging infrastructure with quality on-site amenities, Applegreen aims to help customers transition to electric mobility smoothly.
