Air at EV charging (kbin.social)

I had a tire that needed air in my tire, so I went to the gas station with my EV and got some in there.
That's great for now, but what happens in several years when the number of Gas stations declines? Gas stations have been great resources for air, bathrooms, and snacks on road trips. What is going to replace it?

My EV came with a compressor in the trunk. Last time I needed to fill the tires it worked fine.

I didn't even realize this until one day on the Nissan Leaf discussion boards, which led to a hilarious discussion of a whole bunch of us who had no idea we were carrying our own solution to this....

And if your car didn't come with one, they don't cost the earth. I have one that cost €30. Works fine for occasional use.

My Clarity has a compressor as well. I've had to use it a few times and it is very convenient.

Heh. You are welcome. This is how I found out too--a random discussion.
