I have already seen at least 2 BMW charging stations placed in the front of the convenience stores of 2 gas stations in Florianópolis, another one at the parking lot of a mall in Florianópolis too but AFAIK it's only operational while the mall is open, and in Porto Alegre the only charging station I've seen is also located on a mall.
But anyway, if EVs become mainstream, I'd still not hold my breath for it to mean the end of the way for the ICE, as it might remain useful in gensets. Then, why not to rely on it as a "range extender" and eventually also using it as an emergency power supply for the household?
