I hate charging at gas stations. They're not a place where I want to spend time. Their retail is usually small, food choice is meh, and the surroundings are boring and smelly.
In my experience oil-company-owned charging networks are the least reliable. Shell Recharge is so bad it looks like intentional sabotage.
Gas station chargers aren't even an alternative to hotel chargers. They need different types of chargers — hotels and workplaces can have cheap and simple AC chargers that take a whole day or night to recharge (8-11 hours). Nobody is going to spend a whole day at gas station, so they need much more expensive DC fast chargers (20-30 minutes to recharge). But for fast chargers highway stops with a food court and nicer views are much better.
You don't fuel your ICE car in a stable to parade it in front of horses, and EV owners have no need to sit at a gas station.
