1. Most gas stations break even on the gas an make money on the attached convenience store. That's a different business model than "charge at home" or "charge at streetlight" while you're sleeping.
2. A gas station is a place you "go" to. You're normally taking a detour or at least making an extra stop. Most day-to-day EV charging is done at your normal destination while you're doing things you'd otherwise be doing.
Those are fairly fundamental differences to the gas station model, as far as I'm concerned.
