Put them in places where people can get something to eat, pee, walk their dog, take a nap. Make free wifi available. Businesses should cover part of the cost due to the extra trade they will create.

Make the wait time productive and most people won’t complain.

With the slow charging people have to think about the worst-case scenario in a BEV which means you need excess capacity to deal with wind, rain and cold. Having a charger available means that you can top off to make it home. Having ChaDeMo means that even if somebody’s already there you won’t have to wait too long.

Adding them to dealerships is about reducing range anxiety and in addition it’s helpful to ensure that dealers can charge a demo car quickly.

Restaurants/shops along highways should jump at this. They would get lots of people stopping to charge.

Gas stations now make most of their profits off their mini-marts, not gas.

I question this choice by Nissan. Fast charging is mainly for enabling LEAF owners to cover large distances on a single day. Having to leave the highway and crawling your way into town in search for a Nissan dealer adds more time to that 30 minutes. You make the Achilles heel of the EV even more painful. Of course, it is cheaper and faster than the Tesla strategy of locating them as close to the highway as possible.

It exemplifies the difference between two cultures. Nissan is thinking old style, as a bookkeeper: how do I keep costs low and maximize profit? Tesla is thinking new style, from the perspective of the customer: what would work best for me?
