  Yes, except somehow crammed into every other street corner in every place that isn't Texas.

    You've somehow stumbled onto the answer whilst thinking it's a problem. It's not that petrol stations will become car parks, car parks will become petrol stations. Chargers are not overly expensive, and very little driving consists of 500km road trips. Unlike petrol stations they require very little dedicated infrastructure and don't stink. The overwhelming majority of charging will happen over a regular 20-40A circuit in the places the car parks anyway. Truck stops will get a little larger, but will be competing with every cafe, tourist shop, and shopping mall on the route to get people to stop and charge there instead. The people that don't want to stop for a coffee will be able to use a 750kW fast charger which will take no longer than a petrol bowser.

      I think you're right.

    Fast charging is mostly needed in highways, not cities
