Modern fast charing station can charge 100km of range within 5min or so. That is very usefull in a lot of locations. Obviously most charging will occure at home or at work, but it makes perfect sense to add them at large roads and thats were petrol stations usually are. Even more to the point a lot of petrol stations have small shops attached to this, so that makes even more sense.

Long term I guess we will have charging at a lot of parking spots and fast charging at motorway stations. So you go have lunch or some other meal and in the meantime recharge your car for the next part of your trip. Most charging however would happen at home.
