EV Infrastructure will happen far faster today than the petrol car infrastructure did in the past
We have been there before. When the first cars appeared back in the 1880s, there were no petrol stations at all, practically no support infrastructure, practically no suitable roads. Cars were expensive one-off vehicles too. It made little difference to the rise of the automobile and the rise of the internal combustion engine. The first places that sold gasoline/petrol were pharmacies, as a side business. The first gas/petrol station was the city pharmacy in Wiesloch, Germany, where Bertha Benz refilled the tank of the first automobile on its maiden trip from Mannheim to Pforzheim and back in 1888. The increase in automobile ownership after Henry Ford started to sell automobiles that the middle class could afford, resulted in a greater demand for filling stations. The world's first purpose built gas station was constructed in St. Louis, Missouri in 1905 at 420 S. Theresa Avenue. The second gas station was constructed in 1907 by Standard Oil of California (now Chevron) in Seattle, Washington at what is now Pier 32. Reighard's gas station in Altoona, Pennsylvania claims that it dates from 1909 and is the oldest existing gas station in the United States. Early on, they were known to motorists as "filling stations". Gulf Refining Company opened the first "drive-in" filling station to the motoring public in Pittsburgh in 1913. Prior to this, automobile drivers pulled into almost any general or hardware store, or even blacksmith shops in order to fill up their tanks. On its first day, the station sold 30 gallons of gasoline at 27 cents per gallon. This was also the first architect-designed station and the first to distribute free road maps. The roll out of EV Charging Infrastructure is essential to mass adoption of EVs and therefore could prove to be a huge social, political and economic change every bit as important to our society as the introduction of the internal combustion-powered automobile.Slide Structure:
