In the US at least urban gas stations have been closing in droves. Their economics are marginal and the land is more valuable for other purposes. The only limiting factor is the extreme cost of remediating the pollution.
I can easily see a situation where gas stations on interstates start closing because of dwindling demand, and ICE car drivers start experiencing their own form of range anxiety, as in "will I be able to find a gas station before I run out?". It's already the case around Yosemite, for instance. Most likely those stations will add superchargers or the non-Tesla equivalent, and not go out of business altogether, but who knows?
