What are the potential demands of an architecture that responds to the future of transportation?

In a study conducted by Princeton for the United States to realize their net-zero goals there would need to be roughy 50 million electric cars on the road with 3 million charging port nationwide. There exists a huge market for an aggresive update to travel infrastructure.

Pilot Flying J is one of the largest transportation hubs in North America. With over 700 locations and 9000 fueling stations, how can architecture update their infrastructure to this upcoming demand? Currently with plans to add 2000 ev charging stations and an additional 1 Billion dollarsto update its building and operations is where we see an opportunity for out intervention.
