EXACTLY!!!!!
In the not to distant future there will be the tipping point. Starbucks, Publix, and other businesses will realize "Hey...I can sell power to a guy while he gets coffee, groceries, or goes to the mall for 2-3 hours". I don't need to put a tank in the ground, buy 10,000 gallons of flammable fluid, and spend $25,000 for one gas pump (yes that what they cost). The power is at the pole, and I don't pay for it till I use it. I simply charge EV dude a percentage more than what it costs me.
After not too long the 7-elevens, and WaWa's of the world will start doing the same.
As far as all the old dinosaurs here grousing on how bad this will all be, now you know how the people who used to work in the buggy whip factories sounded when they invented the Model A.
