One thing that has been interesting to me owning an EV for about a year now is how charging and refueling create different needs.

With an EV I rarely need to charge when out and about, because I leave every morning at 100% charge. Those few times I do need to visit a charger it's generally for a full charge, so it'll take 20 minutes to an hour, so I'll much prefer charging stations at restaurants or grocery stores.

I think there will be a big market to reimagine the gas station concept into something more destination oriented, e.g. much more like truck stops, fewer in number but with more services.

Starbucks should be investing all our into chargers! They’d be the perfect place to hang out for an hour. Or Barnes and noble.
