Comment on What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify?

They already don’t make money off gas

Their profits are the stuff in the store, the excuse people have for overpaying is that they’re already there.

We’ll see a lot close, and the ones that remain grow to be basic conscience stores.

They’ll still have the gas pumps, because it’s expensive to remove them. But new builds will likely just be parking lots instead of pumps.

The old stations would be what people have to rely on.

As such the ones on the outskirts would be the ones that close first.

Last gas stations will be in downtown areas where getting rid of 60 year old pumps wouldn’t gain anymore parking than people parking at the pumps.
