> When EV gets popular enough won't all petrol station install chargers too?

More importantly, when EVs get popular we'll obviously see new power supply stations everywhere, and they may not comply with today's notion of a gas station. We'll see for example EV-specific stations such as rest areas or highway diners or shopping centers or autosilos or private parking spots that provide that service while drivers go on with their lives. These actually already exist, but as the number of EV cars is so small in comparison to ICE cars that they are barely noticeable.

Yes, the form factor is different so we will get more chargin stations then petrol station, I was thinking at the long trips Tesla owners say they can do because they can recharge the car in 39 minutes or something like that, but most citizens will be fine with night charging at home.
