Maybe things are different in Germany, which is what this article is about.
My experience is of Telsa’s network in California. Which is home turf for the North America’s best EV network. Telsa is pretty good at putting superchargers near fast food and drug stores, but it’s kind of inconsistent. Some might not be near a public bathroom, and some might not be near a gas station if you want wiper fluid, air, or a squeegee.
Charger vendors are clearly trying to put chargers by places where people can get coffee and take a shit. I don’t see why people are so opposed to putting them in or right next to gas stations. That would be super convenient as long as it’s not a crowded station that can’t accommodate cars staying for a bit longer.
I'm amazed at all the Americans here who have never even been outside Germany and their assumptions on what the average German gas station looks like.
You would think nearly all Americans have been outside Germany, probably for the majority of their lives even.
Now that's a Fun Fact.
