Big oil is shifting, ever so slightly, toward the electric car business.

Chevron Corp. is offering electric car charging ports at a handful of gasoline stations in its home state of California, according to a statement Monday. The fast-charging spots, located at five stations in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas, are being installed by EVgo, which has a car charging network that spans 34 U.S. states.
