I worked at a company who made charging points a few years ago and the consensus then was that the idea of charging on the road at petrol stations was outdated.

Chargers need to be where you park for an hour or more, so at the home, destination or basically where there are car parks.



Absolutely true for short distances (e.g. a daily commute), but not when you travel a long distance. If you want to cover say 1000km in a day, you probably need to charge twice along the way. Fast chargers along the highway are perfect for this.
