Not sure about the fuel prices but people are going to be spending more time at the servos.Has anyone seen economic analysis of what percentage of EV cars would change the landscape of fuel distribution etc?
I can see a scenario (sips afternoon coffee) where if you suddenly have say 20% EVs then you've got a 20% reduction in customers for petrol stations which I think is kinda huge (I don't know much about it, but its a small profit per litre right?). Could lead to less petrol stations or much more expensive fuel and flow on effects from there?
A typical motorway servo may have 8-10 cars in at any on time, each person taking about 10 mins to fill up, pay and grab a drink.
If the servo then installs a supercharger station with 12 bays, those people charging will be there for 30-60minutes.
As electric cars get more popular, the demand for these SC Stations will also increase, to the point where people will have to wait to charge cars if there is not enough bays.
A 150kw supercharger draws ~500amps... the cable and supply upgrades to these places the host supercharger stations is going to be massive.
In comparison a normal house has about a 100amp supply.
Servos will have to reinvent themselves as places to host customers waiting on their car charging.
