Are you certain that is true?
I would assume numbered gasoline pumps will see no change. Gas stations can attract purchases from electric car owners by providing low-cost chargers away from the pumps.
If anything, gas station owners are just capturing a new market segment.
- darkpuma 8y agoMaybe this is just stereotyping, but the demographic of people I witness stocking up on hotdogs and beef jerky inside gas stations is closer to "pickup truck owner" than "tesla driver." But I was referring more to the frequency and magnitude of their gas purchases. (For the record, I'm a big fan of gas station hotdogs and beef jerky.)
- titusjohnson 8y agoI would argue the counterpoint that few people maintain loyalty to a specific gas station. Maybe to a specific brand due to a loyalty card, but even in the 3-station small town I grew up in everyone would hit up whichever station with the lowest price (a penny or two difference, maybe). Given a gas station's proximity to major highways, customer throughput must be a more important metric than repeat customers for a fuel stop. I too am a big fan of gas station hotdogs, and I must say one station's dog is about as good as another station's dog. Time spent on the warmer is more important than brand of dog at a gas station.
