that's assuming these things actually work I keep picturing the scenario where you pull up to a gas station in the air pump doesn't work while you're trying to inflate your tire

I’d argue apartment complex are better prepared for the increased power use than a gas station and is more convenient a location than gas station.

They solve different problems: in the apartment complex you charge during the night for the daily usage while at the gas station is for the longer drives.

And while charging, at least in Europe, you can simply eat your lunch at the station restaurant/fast food/self service/whatever

Im guessing but I bet it is mostly due to the local infrastructure. It is easier to run electrical and install new chargers at a place of business versus residential. The infrastructure at a business is built to expand unlike parking spaces at an apartment complex. You cannot easily tear up the concrete and install electrical when hundreds of families are sleeping or getting home from work
