Also cars that require higher octane can be slightly harder to find.
Even worse are the hydrogen fuel cell ones
Hydrogen is still likely to be a big part of vehicles going forward (either by combustion or fuel cell). Toyota's been putting a lot of money into developing it and heavy transit is going to need it since batteries take up too much weight. Infrastructure will be much easier to build when they finally get to market, though. Converting gas stations to hydrogen isn't terribly complicated.
A lot of transit can just be electrified with overhead wires
Some can, but it's not really an option for planes and semi trucks.
