You may recognize the famous gas station retailer, Shell, who recently came out and announced the closure of over 1,000 stores nationwide.

In a new announcement, Shell stated they' be looking at the advancement of their future, which would include a shifted focus to that of Electric Vehicles (EV's).

It is uncertain yet if Michigan will close any locations.

EVs have yet to show much reliance in states of cooler temperatures, which Michigan faces a majority of the year, only seeing a small reprieve during the summer months.
