If electric cars take over the world, what will happen to the thousands of gas stations around the country that occupy prime boulevard real estate?

Coda Automotive, an electric-car startup in Los Angeles, came up with a fun idea to pose the question. It transformed a Culver City, Calif., gas station into a "grass" station by laying down turf and bringing in pony rides and other farm animals for a day.

People would rather cavort with petting-zoo animals than pump gas anyway, reasoned Nicholai Iuul, who produced the fun video below of the gas station's transformation.

In trying to drum up press attention for its publicity stunt, Coda put it this way:

EV drivers never have to stop at a gas station, so Coda wanted to make gasoline drivers' experience as enjoyable as possible -– with activities that they should be doing instead of pumping gas. With grass, greenery and flowers, visitors will be able to enjoy a petting zoo complete with ponies, a grass tennis court with instructor and DJ, read the morning paper and more.

Looks like it was a success. Spokeswoman Larkin Hill says it has received more than 125,000 views on YouTube since it went up last Thursday. Now, will it sell some cars? Coda's sedan goes 125 miles between recharges and costs $37,250 before federal or state tax incentives.

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

Wasn't that cute?
