Yes, they do. Large oil companies such as BP and Shell see exploiting a charging infrastructure as a business model that may gradually take over from fuel stations. Btw, the U.S. is behind. Doesn't help that gasoline costs less than 40-50% of what it costs Europeans, and Americans prefer to drive big SUVs and trucks, which aren't exactly kWh efficient. https://twitter.com/NextGenEV/status/1670727067028135936

Contrary to what you are saying, I think that economy of scale (to drill, refine, distribute and sell fuels) and higher taxes will make gasoline that costly, that all those classic sports cars will be too expensive to run, and will spectacularly drop in value after 2030.
