And ya, self driving in winter is a whole other challenge(or hundreds of smaller challenges).

The big difference is almost nobody leaves their house with a full tank of gas. The reason it’s always busy there is 3 fold: bathrooms, food, and “we have enough gas to make it to Canmore lets get going”. Few people would consider the 10cent difference for that trip out to the mountains, you get on the road as quick as you can.
Nobody with an electric vehicle would leave home without 100% charge. Especially heading to the mountains. They may still use that destination as a washroom/food stop. And may charge if it’s available if they are stopping anyway. But it’s definitely not a necessity.
