Just one electric vehicle charger can add $1,600 permonth to a convenience store’s utility bill, making itchallenging for retailers to earn a profit.The cost has prompted three of the nation's leadingfuel retailer industry groups to ask the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) to consider changing the RenewableFuel Standard (RFS) program to reward the use of renewablebiomass-derived electricity as a transportation fuel. Theorganizations say the incentives would spur expansion of thenation's electric vehicle fleet and charging infrastructure.
