People complain about rent now, imagine if ever apartment needed charging infrastructure and the electricity to go with it.

The convenience store retailer 7-Eleven isn’t in the car charging business, Tesla is. Tesla has a charging station in the Okahumpka Service Plaza, 7 miles away from shooters world. Tesla builds their charging network about 150 miles apart. The real question is will the villages embrace electric and build car and cart charging stations in the new town squares in Eastport and Middleton.

If I recall Florida passed some law about gas stations having backup generators for the pumps. I don't see any generators around Lake or Sumter. Over the years I have checked and even asked the stations them selfs.

We have one and ONLY one gas stations with backup generators on 466A and we have four stations in Leesburg.

This is not government control. Government helps pharmaceutical companies bring a drug to existence, but it's the individual companies that supply the public.
In the same way you will find owners of parking lots, Walmart and store like them, office buildings installing charging stations. Why because it's a profit to their bottom line. This is individual investment not government control.

Thank you for the post. I did see that it was posted after I made my post. After living here for over 50 years it does not matter if the station does have a generator or not. They will run out of gas long before the storm even comes here. And it takes days for the tankers to come and refill the tanks. I have been without power for as long as 14 days right here in Lake county. And one thing for sure I have my own generator for backup.

California mandates all new cars must be electric by 2035. How is that not government control?

I've read in a number of different places that the average price for an electric car is $65,000. How many hours at $15 per hour at a fast food restaurant will a person have to work in order to afford that vehicle? That price is way outside the average worker's ability in most fields to afford one. Electric cars are toys for rich people!

News Flash!!! Nothing is free, someone, usually a lot someones, is paying for it.

The new 7-11 convenience station next to Shooters World covers maybe a bit over 1/4 acre of land. I think there are somewhere around 12 pumps. If the average fill up takes 5 minutes, how many cars can go fill up in an hour? A bunch!
Now with 12 chargers to charge an electric car on a fast charge that takes 30 minutes, as has been mentioned earlier, how many cars can charge up in an hour? Far fewer than with gasoline. To charge the same number of electric cars you would need a whole lot of charging stations and 1/4 acre wouldn't even have enough space. It would take at least 20 acres of charging stations to even come close. How much does an acre of land cost in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles or any of the other large urban cities. Do you realize how much a charge would cost with those land prices? The belief in electric cars falls into the same category as Unicorns and Pixies.
