Will Gas Stations Survive?

In 1888, Bertha Benz made history by taking the first long-distance automobile trip, facing fuel challenges as gas stations didn't exist. She used Ligroin from pharmacies to complete her journey. As cars became popular, dedicated gas stations emerged. Today, electric cars are gaining traction, but only a small percentage of vehicles are electric. The future may see gas stations converting to serve new fuel types, similar to how stables became car dealerships.
