Gas stations have a lot of infrastructure for catching oil run off, they could put in superchargers, but it would be a horrible use of land. The superchargers can literally go anywhere with power access since EVs don't leak anything other than possibly some coolant. If gas stations become obsolete, they will be subject to rehabilitation before they used for charging.

When you see a gas station with a little fenced-off area and a tiny building with warning signs, that's usually because there was a leaky tank there and the slow cleanup process is underway. Gas stations are all about location. There will probably be a business in doing a turnkey conversion. Prepare to bring in heavy power, shut down gas station, remove pumps, remove tanks, clean up and repair convenience store, put in chargers on the islands, replace signage, power up.
