Intended outcome: more EV charging stations

Actual outcome: fewer gas stations

2 comments

I think fewer gas stations is the intended outcome. I don't know anyone who would want to spend 15 minutes at a gas station let alone an hour. I just wonder if some chains have been preparing for this eventuality by slowly transforming themselves. I know Speedway has added cafes to some of their stores.
Still good.
I suppose so, if your view of success for one thing is to make something else worse.

My first reaction is that this would hurt poor people, who can’t afford to buy new EVs. That doesn’t meet my definition of “good”.
