Here plenty of gas pumps work 24/7. Not all, but many.
I have additional thing to add to the mix. We are tourist country.
During summer season, we need to have both gasoline and in this case EV chargers capacity for all those tourists that pour in. Since we are in the middle of EU, most tourists come with the car...
There are some little places by the sea where population is 10k but they carry 50-60 thousands of people over summer.
Also Croatia has unique problem of having thousands of islands. Basic electricity distribution is a pain in a first place.
Saving grace is that there are many smaller islands that have no vehicles. Some of hose actually use all electric fleet for public services and solar charging with local storage battery installation. On one island they boost power grid with large solar installation.
So where it is possible and smart, people already use green energy. Even in a small and not very rich country like mine.
But infrastructure is not in place for a country wide deployment of BEV and ban of liquid/gas fueled vehicles. That is a simple fact. And unlike simple and quick job of buying a piece of land, digging in a tank and basically dropping on a top a ready made pump facility, that I've seen done in few months, installing 100ths of thousands chargers on streets and charging stations with 10s of thousands of new transformer stations and building a new grid capacity on every level is a
25 years infrastructure project. Without even mentioning additional generation capacity on country level. Those are major projects..
I'm not arguing BEV or any kind of green energy vehicles are not good. If I could charge at home, and would have one that has 400km range, it would fill all my short and long range needs. In that case I would buy it in a hearthbeat.
But as it is now, no. I have to make frequent trips to our capital. That's cca. 350 km round trip. And I do it randomly, when I need to support customers. So it is sometimes 3 days in a row and sometimes once in 2 weeks.
So I either have to charge at home every night and be ready every day, or I loose huge amount of time catering to stupid charging.
