Why would you go to a fueling station when you can charge at home, at Superchargers, and destination chargers at businesses? No one is going to gas stations again with EVs, even if they convert to EV charging stations.

How is a Supercharging station different from a fuelling station?

Other EV users won't go to a "Tesla SuperCharging Station", they'll go to a "BP FastCharge" or "Exxon MegaCharge" station (or some entrepreneurial EV charging outfit).

My point was, the Supercharging Network isn't a big advantage.

You will only ever need a Supercharger if you're traveling more than ~300 miles in a day; otherwise, you're charging nightly at home.
