Users want gas stations, especially newly built ones, to include EV charging infrastructure. This would allow users to charge their vehicles while utilizing the attached stores and amenities, addressing the current lack of convenient and available charging options.
So a little over a year ago a gas station near me was torn down. A few months ago it was reopened. It was torn down to massively expand it's retail. There is another gas station near me that's damn near the size of a small plaza. It's not a Buccees. It opened 2 years ago. It's big enough that it has several other businesses attached to it. One of them is a fast food restaurant. Neither of these offer charging for EVs. What I don't understand is why? Since gas stations make their money from the attached stores amd these locations took that to the max why didn't they add charging? There is a charging station nearby that's crazy expensive and so busy I had to wait an hour in my car to use it. So why aren't new, nearby gas stations adding chargers so that people can both charge their vehicles and buy stuff from the store. I understand why it might be hard for older gas stations but wouldn't adding charging to a newly built gas station be a no brainer? What am i missing?
