  39. Over here gas stations are owned by either the national petroleum company, or probably a proper businessperson considering the initial costs required. Standalone convenience store chains (usually a franchise) outnumber gas stations and not vice versa. If EV makes their inroad fully here then it'd practically be a problem only the government itself can solve, which right now seems to be interested in doing EV (aka. a problem they made themselves in the first place) so they'd probably convert them to charging stations or some other business model replacement. In my own view it's weird that the US doesn't see a lot of individual convenience stores (didn't count gas stations as one as it's not how it works here) so that would probably be what becomes of most gas stations. Idk how one lives without them, here they sell your basic daily needs from food and drinks (both fresh and stock) to hygiene and cosmetics to house cleaning products and even basic over-the-counter drugs. You can live completely off from them never going to a large supermarket or the market, although your choice is obviously somewhat limited and it's probably not the cheapest place to buy things. Although since this is a YouTube channel dedicated to city planning I'd say that the shift to EV cars won't solve most of the problems cars generate for cities - simply the amount of space their infrastructure takes. Perhaps if EV cars makes less money for the government and the economy they should try not to have cars in the first place and put in more public transport as well as increased population density (which are much more friendly to convenience stores).
