Imagine how much simpler a commercial charging station is than a gas station. You already need electricity for a gas station, but you no longer need to send tanker trucks out to fill tanks and technicians to maintain all the mechanical pumps, or even the auditors who make sure that the pump is measuring gallons correctly.

It will be really easy to enable long distance travel for EV's that can DC fast charge. Charging for your home area is covered by wherever you park it.

Seems like a gas station death spiral is inevitable, once there is a solid travel network in place and ample 200 mile range EV's available.
