We have had THREE new gas stations built in our area in the last two years. Population of 18,347. Another is being built in our local town. Population 3,790 None have electric chargers. Nearest electric charging station is thirty miles away.

That tells me gasoline will be around for quite a while.

Interesting that sixty years ago when our population was 400, we had eight (8) full service gas stations.

We have had some popular gas stations removed in our area over the last few years. It's alarming to see them disappear and high-rise residential towers replace them. One I worked at as a teen, I thought would be there forever, at an intersection with several gas stations - now all gone. A couple some 5 or 6 blocks away were removed in the last couple years, one had a reliable mechanic - gone. My wife worries that I won't be able to get gas for my 1960's and newer vintage cars but I told her not to worry, gas will always be available but farther away.
