A sneak preview happened during the eclipse this year. Those with EVs found large waits for charging on the way home.

Any long weekend holiday will also give you that.

Gas stations were no better. The eclipse traveled over many remote areas that never see more than 10 cars/hr on their roads. Suddenly there were thousands all at once. We went to northern NH and the ride back to the NYC area was unreal, taking 11 hours. Thankfully we had the forethought to fill up the morning before the eclipse.
