Given the business model for gas stations (~%0 on the gas, huge on the mini-mart) it seems kinda ridiculous they're not rushing to put fast chargers in every station.



It's a losing proposal in some ways though; by investing in charging today, tomorrow 50% of people will charge at home 95% of the time.

The next 10 years are going to be really interesting for gas stations and car dealerships.

Even if you take just 5% adoption we have so far, that's 3%+ of former once a week gas station customers that now charge at home


You pretty much need three-phase service availability to install one, and a lot of C-stores don't have access to that.
