  the tank is buried underground and that's it, again in both cases the charging station/fuel dispenser isn't the expensive part the land is. That said there is no way that a modern high power charging station is cheaper or anywhere near the price of an off the shelf fuel dispenser those things are very cheap and there is also a huge used market for them which is not currently the case for charging stations. If anything the problem with charging stations now is the lack of standardization every car has a different charger and charge requirements heck even Tesla has 2-3 chargers atm you can't charge the older roaster models on the Model S charge stations without a converter (and i think that one is only for the Leaf type charging station also).
