The difference is that oil makes money. Like, a lot of money.

Charging station networks are not some highly strategic play.

Charging stations rely on subsidies. Of which Tesla recently got a disproportionately low share.

Oil companies might, but gas stations do not.

Not much, but let's put it this way.....

Gas stations don't rely on federal subsidies to exist.
