Breton also is co-chair of a government working group on charging infrastructure. "People seem to forget that the backbone of the infrastructure is not public charging, it's home charging," Breton said. 'SERIOUS CHALLENGE'Breton said that 30% of the cost of installing a home EV charging station in the U.S. is covered by a federal tax credit, while California residents can receive rebates for upgrading charging stations and electric panels. Most Canadians drive short distances to work, meaning that public charging is mainly necessary for longer-haul travellers, Breton said. Canada had 19 EVs per public charging point in 2022, while the number was 24 in the U.S., according to the Paris-based International Energy Agency.

March 22 (Reuters) - Activist investor Engine Capital on Wednesday urged fuel marketer Parkland Corp (PKI.TO) to look at strategic alternatives including the sale or spinoff of non-core assets to become a more focused fuel and convenience retailer. Parkland has accumulated a range of assets that are not typically owned by pure-play fuel and convenience operators, said Engine Capital. Engine added it was "particularly troubled by Parkland's staggering underperformance" compared with Canadian convenience retailer Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.TO). "The letter has been circulated by management to the board of the company for its review and consideration," Parkland said in an e-mailed statement. Engine also urged the company to improve its compensation framework to better align management's incentives with shareholder interests.
