Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why it’s the end of the road for petrol stations
Auto giants are all in a race to transform themselves from fossil-fuel-automobile manufactures to clean-energy vehicle providers. Some are aiming to switch completely by 2025 or a little later while e-car companies have already been selling electric cars only. When you think about buying a new car, which type will you buy, a phasing-out conventional car or an electric vehicle? You may think you’ll be driving the car until 2030 but by then, most of the new cars sold or subscribed will be electric or another kind of clean energy vehicles. Will there be enough gas stations then? Will there be any buyers for your old gasoline car then? What you’re your neighbors and friends be riding then? While more and more free charging poles are being installed in public parking spaces, retailers’ parking lots, and workplaces, gas stations have been and will be closed one after another because of the transition to e-cars and improved gas mileage. And soon, free charging poles may become a standard feature of parking lots like free Wi-Fi. Also, the fewer the gas stations are, the less price competition will be. Then, gas-car drivers may soon have to worry about the next charging spot as well as their wallets. All in all, gas stations are going to make a decision for their future, stay in the same business at low cost to survive as the competitors disappear, transform themselves to be a multi-service operator such as convenience store or service/repair shop, or sell it before it’s too late (if only there is a buyer).
Enjoy reading the article and think about when you will switch to a green car if you haven’t.
