7-11 is opening 500 EV charging stations by the end of 2022
Why aren't all gas station in the US buying at least a couple of timed/metered EV chargers? They are cheap in Aliexpress. Between 400 USD and 1000 USD per charger. I would assume that a gas station already has the electrical setup required to hook a handful of them since they have other equipment with high electricity consumption.<p>With a couple thousand you can create a small EV charging operation.
It baffles me when I see gas stations with a new car wash system that is probably expensive as fuck and not a single EV charging station in miles.<p>Is EV charging a regulated industry or something?
