Nope. Corporate America doesn't care how long you're at the gas station. Like I said 7-11 and co. make their money from YOU coming into the store and buying. An EV recharging station takes up much less space then a gas Pump (I said 10 -15 to be nice, but they could easily put 20-25 at a gas station). People that buy EV's are not dumb, they know there will be times they may have to wait 5-10+ to recharge. But progress is being made as we speak to where you can get a good and nice charge in 10 min. Had I had a problem with RISKING to be stuck waiting 10-15 min for my car to charge I would have never bought the d... thing in the 1st place. Give these folks some credit, just a little, credit. The rest of the world is making strides in Technology and we're still in the stone ages in comparison and you're saying the oil lobby has nothing to do with it. Wow.....
Best reply yet on my thread, Thanks Chainwright.
What many folks on here don't understand is the younger generation is wanting and ready for the electric revolution, they will understand the time it takes to charge, what I see is places like 7-11 and others with charging stations for the EV's and sit down areas in the store with Starbucks style coffees and such, charging stations will be at some work places, at bars, at hotels, on the highways to popular destination's, at home, and some RV parks.
The younger generation will buy the smaller EV motorhome vs a big ICE motorhome when they come on line and at a lower cost with more distance, this will cause a shakeup in the RV world and places like Winnebago will start making more small EV motorhomes and start dropping the big ICE motorhomes.
2025 has been predicted by many in the EV field as the EV revolution, this will be the tipping point of EV's when you go to buy a new car or truck and the dealer will probably only have EV's for sale and commercial trucks and RV's will soon follow.
