It’s pop science, but The Tipping Point explores this sort of thing.

I think we’re also going to see this happen with EVs and gas stations. Gas stations will start closing as EVs become more popular, making it harder to own a gas car, making more gas stations shut down, etc. Gas stations also mostly won’t be converted into charging spots, IMO the most common thing is that places like Target or shopping malls will have chargers, and you’ll charge either at home, or when you’re busy shopping.

It will probably happen eventually for gas stations in very rural areas, but keep in mind that you only really need one gas station in a given county staying open to keep gas vehicles viable, and you don’t really need all that much traffic to keep a pump open, especially if there arn’t any other options and as such you can increase margin drastically.
