This article actually covers a specific kind of gas stations in Germany along the Autobahn, that are centrally regulated and are, exactly as you say, also truck stops with lots of amenities and space.
I just did a trip from Copenhagen to the south of France (1900 km) in an EV. The biggest issue for our trip was that Tesla's superchargers were half the price of the other networks, but were never at the typical rest stops that also have bathrooms, 24 hour shops, etc. So we opted for the cheap charging over amenities.
Also probably small petrol/gas station might not have sufficient space due to the ATEX area limitation. (Directive for Explosive area equipment)
In the sense it's possible, but it cannot be close to the fuel distributor.
