Chargers at parking lots are very common and it's not the problem. When you're driving on a highway you don't want to go to a parking in the center of the city to charger there. You will loose 30-60 minutes just to get in and out of the town. Chargers are needed at service stations that are next to the highway. In places like that you usually can't put a fast charger just like that, you first need to adapt the grid. So the grid operator has to do some work first. So it should be planned and coordinated so that the charging network grows in a way that makes sense. As far as I know this wasn't done.
