I have been wondering why some haven't figured this out. Market is probably still too small.
From the research I've done, cost to open fast charging EV station is expensive but no more so than building a new gas station from ground up.
1) EV charger margin is higher when you compare the kWh rate they charge drivers to the local electric rates (sometimes 10c/kWH spread)
2) EV charging is 20-40min so they have more time to shop
3) EV owners are on average higher income, so should have more disposable income to spend
Probably some sort of Starbucks x Pret-A-Manger x fancy convenience store model would do well.
