A new Colorado law, effective in August, slashes state regulation so that anybody can resell electricity. Traditionally, only utilities could do that. The law is seen as a way to spur entrepreneurs to install e-chargers at grocery stores, hotels, malls, cafes and other urban spots.

"It's a matter of putting them out in front of your business and saying: 'Here is the station!' It's got a credit-card reader on it — very simple — just like at the gas pump."
