Maybe things are different in Germany, which is what this article is about.

My experience is of Telsa’s network in California. Which is home turf for the North America’s best EV network. Telsa is pretty good at putting superchargers near fast food and drug stores, but it’s kind of inconsistent. Some might not be near a public bathroom, and some might not be near a gas station if you want wiper fluid, air, or a squeegee.

Charger vendors are clearly trying to put chargers by places where people can get coffee and take a shit. I don’t see why people are so opposed to putting them in or right next to gas stations. That would be super convenient as long as it’s not a crowded station that can’t accommodate cars staying for a bit longer.

As a non-Tesla EV owner, the one supercharger I've been to that accepted non-Teslas was out in a rural spot where there was one shop that was closed when I got there.

All the other chargers I've been to are stuffed in random parking lots. There's often something within a 15 minute walk, but that's completely random. It's obvious no real attempt was made to cater to charging vehicles.

We're now starting to get sites with more chargers, and they are being set up as convenient rest stops with food and other services available. But those are still few and far between.
