The business model makes no sense. EV charging is a PARKING issue. A gas station only has room to park maybe 20 cars. Each one buying about $2 of electricity. Over 2 hours. Even at 50% markup for profit, it would be impossible to make a business model for operating such a site with only $160 a day of income. Not to mention all the customer PARKING complaints! And operating a gas-n-go convenience store would be stupid since no one could find a place to park. To be viable, the "station" would probably need to charge the going rate or about $20 per day for the parking of which $1 is for the electricity.
