That means 400+ kilowatts- doable, but pretty disruptive for grid operators. Typically that will mean expensive (>.5 MWh) onsite batteries. Gas stations are inherently capital-intensive but making a $200k+ bet may still be a struggle.
I wonder how the economics of onsite battery banks is vs petrol storage tanks, especially with the long term clean-up and mitigation expenses.
