I believe that FastNed installs super fast DCFC at existing fuel stations along freeways in The Netherlands and is expanding to Belgium, France, UK and Germany. I guess exactly with this reason that existing stations already have the shops, restrooms and sometimes full sit down restaurants.
BTW, "Ned" is short for Nederland, the Dutch spelling for The Netherlands. High power DCFC stations are also ideal locations to install large energy storage systems, both to supply (shave) peak loads to allow a smaller grid connection than the total aggregate charger power, but also to stabilize grid by their grid interactive and high power interface, as well as balancing any on-site solar generation and recharging at night/selling at peak tariff...
