The popularity of electric vehicles has brought a lot of changes to the gas station industry, and car owners will spend more time at the gas station. The popularity of electric vehicles has brought a lot of changes to the gas station industry.
First of all, the positive side of gas station operators is that electric vehicles take longer to charge than to refuel, and car owners will spend longer at gas stations, which can increase the income of gas station operators.
Secondly, today's electric car owners basically do not need to go to the gas station in their daily life, their car can be charged at home or work, and only need to stop at the toll charging station when they are on vacation or on a long trip. Even so, their cars can be charged in shopping mall parking lots or hotel parking lots, and they don't necessarily have to go to a traditional gas station.
However, with the increasing popularity and development of electric vehicles, fewer and fewer users use electric vehicles, and fewer and fewer users need to stay at gas stations to refuel, which may lead to the dilemma of the gas station industry.
The number of petrol stations in Finland has been decreasing since the 90s. According to the Statistics Office, 30 years ago there were more than 1,800 petrol stations in Finland, but by the beginning of this century there were 1,450, and now there are just over 800 left. In the future, as electric vehicle technology continues to improve and become popular, it may continue to reduce the demand for traditional fuel vehicles and gas stations, so let's wait and see.
