| 摘要： | Pilot Company CEO Shameek Konar says fuel retailers provide the best opportunity for advancing alternative fuels, including electricity, in the marketplace. Konar made the comments, delivered on behalf of the National Association of Truckstop Operators (NATSO), during his recent testimony before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, while also emphasizing the need to surround these retailers with the right policy framework and incentive structure. The Pilot executive insisted truckstops and travel plazas are best positioned to own and operate electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, and that the right alignment of policy incentives will ensure a faster, more widespread and cost-effective transition to alternative fuels. "A nationwide network of EV charging stations is well within our grasp, all it takes is a coherent framework of national policies that harness the core competencies of the utility and retail fuel sectors," Konar said. Konar testified that the structure and implementation of these policies should encourage utilities and fuel retailers to focus activities where each is most productive. He cautioned that policies that allow electric vehicle charging stations at rest areas or permit utility companies to increase rates to all ratepayers to offset their consumer-facing EV charging station investments will discourage the private sector from investing in electric vehicle charging. Such approaches, Konar maintained, undermine the business case for all fuel retailers nationwide to make the investment in EV charging infrastructure. |
