What do you think will happen to all the gas stations when the ICE vehicles go away?
They just become convenience stores, which is all they are anyway.
Convenience stores are called that because you are already getting gas anyway, so they provide the convenience of grabbing a couple things while you're stopped
The problem is the gas is what brings people into the convenience stores.
We'd need far fewer of them. Many will transition to also providing charging stations, then, as these can be placed pretty much everywhere without any complicated infrastructure (huge underground gas reservoirs), parking buildings will provide charging services.
99.999% of commuters can do so with a single over night charge. Many will be able to charge their cars at home.
Didn't answer my question.
How so?
They did actually?
Me: what will happen to gas stations
Them: we don't need them
How does that answer the question?
Um, read again, they didn't say that.
Bruh your gaslighting efforts are unsuccessful, sorry
