As U.S. pushes a shift toward electric cars, where should the chargers go?
The Biden administration sees the plug-in network as critical groundwork for cutting carbon emissions.Depeswar Doley has come up with a quip for the confused, and sometimes irked, drivers who stop by his longtime gas station while trying to buy gas.
Donning a bright smile and blue-striped RS Automotive shirt, he tries to disarm them with a chipper: “Give me the money! It’s almost my lunch time!” That often nets a friendly expression as he explains, again, that heavy-duty electric plugs are all he’s got.
Frustrated by the whims of gasoline suppliers and sensitive to his daughter Teresa’s environmentalism, Doley dug up his tanks and converted his Takoma Park, Md., station into an electric-vehicle charging pioneer two years ago, prompting a wave of headlines and inquiries from station owners from Seattle to New Orleans.
At lunch hour on a warm day this month, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg pulled up in a government-issued black Mustang Mach-E with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, then plugged in. It’s the latest in a stream of made-for-media moments that last year included a visit to Doley’s station by Gov. Larry Hogan (R), who arrived to highlight state funding for the project.

I think the shift to electric cars in the coming decade may revitalize retail shopping and dining; multiple charging stations at those locations would surely be a lure to encourage urban shoppers to spend their time and money while waiting for their vehicles to "top off".
Of course that outlook may change, if charging times can be reduced significantly; the new Lucid Air reportedly has demonstrated the capability to reach an almost full charge in about 20 minutes, and has a range of around 500 miles.

I'm not planning to drivea sewing machine either. 
Also, batteries are not the power source, they are only used for climate control with engine off & regen braking. Majority of energy comes from the engine.
Since battery is not primary energy source, a bit of degredation will only cause a bit less gas mileage.
Degredation only becomes problematic, eg. setting engine codes, when it its severely degraded.
Also, replaxement cost is a lot less because the battery is much smaller, about the size of a backpack vs. full electric cars which have lithium ion that covers the entire underside of the car.
Have you seen the recent video about guy who physically blew up Tesla because battery replacement cost was $22k?
Here is q link to an engineer discussing a Nissan Leaf a viewer sent him. Dead batteries. Useless.
Then there is the ridiculous matter of maskholes damaging charging stations & blocking access by parking trailers, etc. In front of them.
but that's a separate matter, obviously.
Hopefully technology will evolve to make this doable for everyone, but I'm not holding my breath.
Ty for sharing your experience!
Battery degredation is not linear either. They do not hold their value because of battery degredation & replacement cost.
2 great videos.
To all manner of crimes. Shootings & car jackings happen near me every week.
Leaving an elect car on a charger while shopping, eating, etc. would make it a maskhole target in many areas. You know, "them damned hippie cars." 
2.2 mill watts est. For a 75 kwh battery, assuming a totally run down battery & 100% charging efficiency.
