Zap & Snack: an EV convenience store business plan

Abstract

Zap & Snack is an innovative concept in the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry, designed to merge fast, efficient EV charging with a health-conscious convenience experience. Founded by Mahriana Benson, the company aims to redefine the typical charging station by offering high-speed charging, free Wi-Fi, healthy snacks, and a smoothie bar, all within a uniquely designed pull-through parking layout. As the EV industry experiences rapid expansion, adding over 10,000 charging ports weekly, according to the Federal Highway Administration; Zap & Snack seeks to stand out from at-home and traditional public chargers. To support its launch and growth, the company is pursuing a 10-year loan of $1,467,500. Financial projections estimate a net income of $90,927 in the first year, growing to $172,730 by year ten. With a grand opening planned for 2025, Zap & Snack aims to achieve national recognition by 2031 for its distinctive approach to EV charging and consumer wellness.
