From my previous post on banning new gas stations, I talked about the role of funding or grants in ushering in new systems.
But as I think about this kind of future where gas stations become obsolete (yes, like the abandoned ones in the movies), I can’t help think about how road trips will evolve.
How so?
Well, remember the time when we can still take a road trip (rather freely)? And whenever our bladders begin screaming, what do we usually look for?
Yes, that’s right. Gas stations.
So in a future where gas stations aren’t as relevant as today, then it’s also worth noting where we’d be using washrooms in this kind of future.
And considering that gas stations are replaced by electric charging stations in this future, would the set up be the same? Or aren’t charging stations supposed to be strategically located in places where cars are parked longer? And what would that mean for the long-distance travelers who need to use a washroom?
Maybe, we won’t be traveling as much as we used to because of the habit we carried over after COVID-19?
Okay, we must have missed the adrenaline when the next gas station is still far off, and we can’t hold it in any longer. And yes, that’s what also makes some of the road trips memorable, right?
