There are over 168,000 Gas Stations in the US... not pumps.. STATIONS... a charging station is the equivalent of a single pump.... So take that number and multiply it by an average of about 8 pumps per station anymore and you have over 1 Million gas pumps in the US... 10,000 niche stations in hotel parking garages ain’t going to get you where you need to go.
Electric is a niche.. commuter/second car, toy for the wealthy... and that’s where its going to stay for the forseeable future. Eventually it may be able to compete with combustion.... but its NOWHERE near that today... and the idea it will be 90% of the market in 30 years is pipe dream... only regularly mandating will cause that sort of market shift.
To take out an old technolgoy you not only have to meet it, you have to beat it, and Electric isn’t remotely able to meet, let alone beat combustion... its not going to be 90% of the sales volume in 30 years unless consumers are forced to buy it.

Once there were less than 10 gas stations! Your point?
“There are over 168,000 Gas Stations in the US... not pumps.. “
LOL. I remember back in the 70’s waiting in line on the assigned day and only being allowed 10 gallonsfitzg@aol.com.
And driving on the interstate on a Sunday when most were shutdown!

LOL! Each Tesla super charging station has multiple ‘pumps’!

My phone has wireless charging!
Just think in the future each home will be built with wireless EV charging. Just park your car in the garage or driveway and it starts charging!
Each parking spot at the mall could be a wireless charging station!
A toy for the wealthy?
Lincoln 'Town Car' (critics say it will never become viable. No utility. Too few gas stations.
