That would be interesting information. I'll take a stab at an answer,
based on this EIA graph:
http://www.eia.gov/beta/MER/index.cfm?tbl=T02.01#/?f=A&start=200001
Overall, it shows that commercial uses about 80% the amount of
residential (this is a visual interpretation). The figure, from EIA,
for residential is 11MwH per year. So, let's say the average commercial
location uses 8.8MwH per year.
https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=97&t=3
Now for the EVs: If the average EV uses 300wH = .3KwH (including
accessories, charging losses, etc.) per mile and the average driver goes
20000 miles per year, that's 6MwH of charging per year.
So, based on averages and some EV assumptions, the gas station uses
enough electricy to charge somewhere between 1 and 2 EVs.

Subject: [EVDL] UK grid too weak for 34M EVs (not when we stop pumping
gas too!)
: MP Amber Rudd sez the UK grid too weak for 34M EVs
BRITAIN’S electric car revolution could trigger blackouts by
overloading
our power network, senior Tories fear.
Typical right wing ignorance.
What happens when 50% of cars are EV's. Then only 50% of the gas
stations
remain operating. How much ELECTRICITY does a gas station consume????
My
wild a$$ guess is maybe the same as what it takes to charge 50 EV's.
Now
add up all the ELECTRIC savings by closing all those gas stations, and
turning off half the gasoline pipelines, and half of the gasoline
distribution system, and turning off HALF of all the electricity
consumed
pumping gas ouit of the ground, etc, and I bet it’s a WASH!
Tonight I'm going to drop by my neighborhood gas station and see if the
owner will tell me his electric bill and even better, if he will tell
me how
many cars he serves. I DOUBT he will tell me anything about the number
of
cars and the amount of gas since he is in EXTREME competition with the
statinon across the road, but maybe he will reveal the electric bill.
But we need this number. GO get your local number and lets compare
notes.

A Cabinet row has broken out over the plug-in motors.
Eco-loving ministers at the Environment and Transport departments say
greener roads with millions of the electric vehicles is vital for clean
air.
But the Department of Energy and Climate Change fear we don’t have
enough
power for them.
