How long until the major supermarkets start replacing pumps with chargers. They have plenty of space for cars to park and many have existing fuel services with up to a dozen pumps!
They just about killed off the independent fuel stop, having worked out that they can price low on the back of volume and grocery shopping.
I expect the same will happen with EVs - park the car, buy the groceries, come back to a fully charged vehicle.
They may be able to service 10-30 vehicles per day per charger, possibly with extra discounts for store card customers. It's a competitive world - if you have an EV, Sainsburys have cheap charging and Tescos have none, where are you going to shop?
