  • What happens in a society when EV reach 90-95% market share? What happen when the last petrol station goes bust?

    The same thing as when cars were first invented, before petrol stations existed: you buy fuel in cans from stores. They used to buy petrol from chemists in the 1900s, but I imagine that today/in future they’d be sold at hardware stores or ordered online.

    I’m somewhat doubtful petrol stations will all go bust though; long-haul trucking really favors petrol/diesel, and by their very nature of having a long range, they don’t need the petrol stations to be that frequent. Especially since the infrastructure is already built, it just needs to be maintained.

    Also, obligatory reminder that electric cars are not the solution: fixing car-centric cities so they’re more walkable and have decent train systems is the solution.
