or the better option is you just delete gas stations as being a thing. Most of the Superchargers I take my tesla to are in shopping centers or grocery stores. Your once a week fill up becomes your once a week grocery run. Plug in, come back out 45 minutes later with a full cart and enough energy for the next week.

Your average big box store has 1000 spots. your gas station has 12.

This is the US option. There are not big box stores in many large European cities. They do not have room. All buildable space is houses, parks, or smaller business’ already. Tearing them down to build parking lots is a far less valuable use of land. People walk or take public transportation like the subway.

Anywhere you can park a car you can install a charger. It doesn’t require massive space like a gas pump does. There is the cost to set it up but the space is not the premium need.
