Capital costs seem rough. You can’t use a normal wall plug for a supercharger. How many amps do they pull, 200? You would need a new breaker box and the super charger hardware.... say 10k per house.

Who is going to spend 10k to get a charger in their driveway strangers can stop by and pay you $20 to use?

Uber works because people already own the car. Even EV people don’t already own a supercharger, they have a much simpler one.
