Yeah, it definitely depends on the country. For western Europe in general the reason to stop at a highway gas station is because you're looking to go-go-go. If you're willing to do a 10-15 minute detour off the highway there's almost always both cheaper gas, and a much more pleasant place to stop. With that in mind I think we've been optimizing the charging infrastructure in Europe for something that worked well in North America. Since you are going to need a bit of a longer stop I'd think it would be equally if not more important to ensure that there's fast chargers at every restaurant & attraction that's a short drive from the highway, rather than blindly copying what works for gasoline powered vehicles. Re #1: I didn't mean to do short pit stops because you need to, but, and particularly with kids of a certain age, getting them out of the car to walk around for 5 minutes every hour might work much better than a similar 15 minute break every 3 hours, etc. Which is still a big advantage of combustion, since fueling itself takes 1-2 minutes you can more easily pick which stop is the rarer longer stop.
