The energy industry is rapidly evolving due to changing technologies, regulations, and expectations, forcing businesses to accommodate both traditional fuels and cleaner solutions. SPATCO is the industry’s leading provider of infrastructure service and innovative turnkey solutions for petroleum fueling, environmental, and EV market segments. It holds nearly a century of expertise in design, engineering, construction, installation, and service and maintenance, helping clients navigate these complexities, adapt, and remain competitive.

SPATCO identifies industry trends early and aligns with them. In 2007, before the 2010 Diesel Exhaust Fluid regulations, it partnered with a nationwide convenience store chain to create DEF storage and dispensing solutions, making SPATCO North America’s leading DEF equipment manufacturer. When EV charging’s potential emerged, it formed EV Solutions (EVS), now respected for infrastructure design, engineering, deployment, and maintenance that create new revenue streams for site owners.

Because the EV industry is still young, SPATCO educates customers on Level 2, Level 3, kilowatts, battery charging curves, CHAdeMO, CCS, and the North America Charging Standard, showing how location, power capacity, demographics, and dwell times shape EV solutions. It guides owners through site viability and ROI, acting as a translator of complex processes. Its project managers handle permitting, hardware delivery, utility coordination, and inspections, while three- or four-person teams skilled in construction, electrical work, installation, and commissioning reduce costs, miscommunication, and schedule overruns.

At SPATCO, we thrive on innovation, bridging traditional energy solutions with tomorrow’s renewable needs. Our focus is on delivering sustainable infrastructure that empowers businesses and communities for generations to come. —  CEO & President, SPATCO Energy Solutions, John Force

SPATCO stresses excellence, dependability, integrity, and prompt support, always doing what is right for the customer. Hiring focuses on professionals who align with the organization’s culture, and the company invests heavily in training, tools, and processes to keep operations seamless.

SPATCO’s EV growth extends, rather than replaces, its petroleum expertise, enabling gas station operators to offer “another fuel” as EV adoption grows. Over 1.2 million new EVs were sold in the U.S. in 2024. Projections confirm that 2025 EV sales are likely to match or exceed that number. This surge is driven by expanded tax incentives, growing model availability, and state-level mandates.  therefore, SPATCO urges sites to adopt early and build sustainable economics. It employs proven methods from 90 years of fueling experience, creating delivery models and technologies for EV architectures, construction, and a broad technician network that answers service calls within hours.

Our goal is to simplify complex energy transitions and create long-term value for businesses embracing electrification. — Vice President & General Manager, SPATCO EV Solutions, Miguel Payan

Real-world examples underline SPATCO’s impact. An international gas station operator with 7,000 U.S. sites tapped SPATCO for fast, cost-effective EV design and construction. Through cross-functional planning and a pilot rollout, SPATCO solved challenges in real time and stayed on budget. Future deployments became more efficient, cutting costs and timelines. Another example involves a leading charge point operator needing four-hour SLAs in the Southeast. SPATCO trained over 70 technicians, refined 24/7 dispatch processes, and expanded from two states to ten, consistently meeting rigorous standards.

These successes highlight how SPATCO collaborates with customers, fosters clear communication, and provides reliable problem-solving. It draws on 90 years of building, installing, and servicing infrastructure, reskilling its large workforce of electricians, construction specialists, and service technicians for EV deployments. Its small-team model from start to finish lowers total costs and expedites completion. SPATCO’s training center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, offers “rookie school” and factory certifications to keep employees up-to-date with the latest regulations and technologies..

Moving forward, SPATCO plans measured growth— while preserving the company’s single-source, service-centric approach. It seeks top talent, invests in development, and monitors emerging sub-sectors, adapting systems and processes to uphold quality.

Although SPATCO’s EVS is relatively new, its 90-year legacy in fueling, construction, and service features numerous divisions, including: retail and commercial petroleum, DEF, environmental, EV, electrical, industrial, construction, and full-spectrum service. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, with 36 offices across 15 states, it supports clients throughout the U.S. and Canada via 1,200 professionals. As an American company dedicated to forward-thinking, dependable solutions, SPATCO stands ready to help businesses seize opportunities in both conventional and alternative energy, emphasizing affordability, quality, and sustainability.
