Gas stations adapting with charge infrastructure for EV's.

Interesting article on Shell commitment to charging infrastructure. This station is in holland where ICE vehicle will no longer be sold by 2025 (for personal use). There are some associated article but you can see where shell has figured out that if they want to stay in the Auto "fuel" game they need to adapt. Interesting that it is now law in Russia that any fuel station must also have charging facilities. Cool looking roof too.l :) The world is a changin.

Modification would have to be made.
A flat roof like that would pick up 2-6 ft of snow around here.

It will be interesting for sure to see how the technology advances. I still think the biggest hurdle will be fast charging. Even 30 minutes for abut 170 miles (Tesla's Supercharger rate according to them) of range isn't going to satisfy most travelers. I considered electric for my last commuter car, but the prices just didn't work for me.

Are you sure this station is in Holland? It has a very American-looking parking lot with all of the US vehicles not to mention the very American-looking school bus in the background. Still a cool shot with the max use of the solar for typically wasted space.
