A petrol stations running costs are very low. They break even with 2% margins.
Even if they go away, a 2m^3 tank at home will last you for a year or more.
And if your typical full tank range of 500-600km is not enough, you can toss a few fuel cans in the trunk and travel across the continent without refueling.
The only way ICEs will go away is by hostile legislation, being regulated and taxed to death purely for ideological reasons, as is happening.
