Why it's the end of the road for petrol stations
But the real question you should be asking is how you're going to refuel your petrol or diesel vehicle if you don't go electric.
That's because electric cars are going to send the petrol station business into a death spiral over the next two decades, making electric vehicles the default option for all car owners.
You are writing the risk assessment for a new petrol station. You want to dig a big hole in the ground in the middle of town, put in some tanks and fill them up with an enormous amount of highly flammable fuel.
They'll arrive in vehicles with hot engines. You'll hand them the really powerful pump that sprays the highly flammable liquid.
Without any supervision they'll use it to transfer large quantities of the highly flammable liquid into their hot vehicle, they'll pay you and drive off.
My point is that fuelling cars with petrol and diesel is dangerous, which is why we do it at specially-designed centralised refuelling points.
