If the charge is 6x longer than filling, then there need to be 6x the charging points. Stations will need to have a much larger footprint which isn’t always possible in urban environments. Then the occupants are stuck there for 30min so there better be adequate security otherwise it’ll be ground zero for crime.

There is an issue with your argument, fast charging is rarely used by EV owner.
EV can charge from a regular outlet overnight. So everyone with a private parking spot is charging their car overnight. Of cities can build outlets where there is public parking then only long distance travelers have to use the fast chargers.

I agree. That does mean during vacation season the peaks can be way higher

You can also slow charge in hotels if they provide them.
You sleep and wake up with 100%

That’sa good idea l have done this also a few times. Note that during peak season these can also be full 😅
Or sometimes taken up by non charging cars (that one is very annoying).
