This is a collection of things that I find interesting.

Mainly, mainly it's a place for me to post into the void for my own trail of hyperlinks.

You make a good point. I see gas stations either morphing into something different (e.g. grocery store, coffee shop, fast food) or preexisting businesses that already keep customers for ~30 minutes will morph into charging hubs as a side-business. Businesses that focus on refuelling with quick customer visits (aka gas stations) are a model of the past, IMO.

If I were the CEO of a nationwide chain restaurant, it would be a top priority to install 2 DC fast chargers at every location. If EV drivers knew that every McDonalds had a fast charger, then McDonalds would be synonymous with charging.
