Citgo Petroleum Corp., along with marketer Folk Oil Co., recently launched an electric vehicle charging pilot program designed to meet the needs of EV drivers in Battle Creek, Michigan, according to a press release. The Citgo location at 15551 11 Mile Road now offers both regular transportation fuel and EV charging stations.

The EV chargers include both Combined Charging System (CCS) and the North American Charging Standard (NACS) plugs.

The company will work with stores throughout the entire process, facilitating access to available grants via the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, the Inflation Reduction Act and U.S. Department of Transportation's utilities initiative.

"Instead of a store receiving a monthly rent for EV charger installation, the Citgo program provides upfront assistance, while still giving the marketer full ownership of the installed EV charger," Kevin Kinney, Citgo general manager of brand equity, said in the press release.
