A typical charging station, which is supposed to replace gas stations, would have to be able to produce enough electricity in a day to power 21,000 homes!
NOT SUSTAINABLE.
I gotta fact check this number but it is what I have heard.

Not that I disagree, but I thought it was an interesting question.
Average gas station 4,000 gal/day sold.
https://www.consultingcase101.com/how-many-gallons-of-gasoline-a-gas-station-sells-per-day/
Gasoline gallon equivalent 33.40 kilowatt-hours
the average household, monthly electricity bill will read 911 kilowatt hours (kWh) Call it 1000 for KISS.
4,000 gal/day * 33.40= 133600 kWh equivalent each day.
1000kwh / 30= 33.3 kWh/Day used by avg home.
133600 / 33= 4012 homes/day equivalent kWh supplied.
This made my brain hurt, so pls check the numbers.
Except for some solar panels (which don’t do much in bad weather or at night), the charging stations don’t produce electricity any more than the walls in my house walls produce electricity.
