    The only place I see liquid fuel being used is in commercial transportation, particularly in shipping and rail. Anhydrous ammonia would be perfect for shipping, and a nightmare anywhere else. That shit will fucking kill you in an instant, and those who survive just wish they were dead.

    So it should only be used in highly regulated professional settings.

    That said, it’s still a wonderful fuel option for those settings.

    This electrolyte swaps shit? I see it as an attempt to reuse all that gas station infrastructure all over the place.

    EV chargers are all over as well these days, but they’re still not anything near as ubiquitous and gas stations.

      Owners of gas stations figured out a long time ago that attaching a convenience store to the business was a good idea, I think they’ll adapt to people hanging out for twenty minutes pretty well.

        I expect we’ll see lots of charging stations off the highway become a Chuky Cheese, with arcade games and rigged claw machines with shitty prizes.

      Gas stations around me are installing charging stations wherever they have room to do so. But I live in area with lots of baby boomers who have bought Teslas and Rivians. There is a group of 9 charging stations in the middle of strip mall parking lot a couple miles away as well.
