  1. Not at all. Remember in reality, gas stations make FAR more profit when you buy an overpriced drink or snacks than they ever do off the fuel. This won’t really change with gas stations having EV charging or RNG / biogas pumps. EV chargers will be located where the gas stations are located already due to market forces. Not to mention larger high traffic places will have them as essentially a ‘loss leader’, in that they don’t expect to make much profit off the charging, but it will bring EV drivers to that place and thus shop there more and/or think of the place of business more positively. Not to mention lots of rural private campgrounds are installing them because if they don’t, the consumers with EVs will leave for the competition. Pure market forces.

  2. 1) You spend 20 mins screwing around buying your Doritos and Pepsi, spending 10 mins deciding what flavour you want, in the gas station anyway 2) that is from 0-100%. Like your phone and laptop, it deliberately charges slower 80+% charged to wear out the battery cells less thus it prolongs your battery life. It is 0-80% in 20 minutes. Based upon average driving patterns and mid range EV typical range, it is 2 mins charge per day of use. And that’s if you drive everyday too. 4) Everyone is gangsta until they find out charging an EV is 2-3x cheaper than gas or it’s infinite if you charge your EV at a public one for free.
