Don't worry. Most of the Tesla superchargers in my area are located on the back side of gas stations. Pumps in the front, store in the middle, chargers in the back.

I believe in 10 years they will be building gas stations with the chargers in the front, store in the middle, pumps in the back.

EV drivers have even more need for someplace to hang out/browse for 10-20 minutes or so. Not everyone wants to sit in their car while charging.

The law specifically does not ban EV chargers.

Gas stations in general are very polluting, for both the ground and noxious fumes. Because of this, in CA they are already banned 300 ft (~90m) from any sensitive uses like schools or playgrounds, and even then there is evidence that this perimeter is not enough.

Yes let me go breath air with strangers instead of watching netflix in the AC in a chair optimized for long durations
