I know in Chicago there are numerous Fast Chargers at Whole Foods, Target, Costco. That would help range anxiety.As far as fuel stations, most corner gas stations probably wouldn't. Pilot/Flying J is installing chargers at many of their stations though. Even the smaller ones usually have some kind of food service in them. 15-20 minutes can give you a significant addition to your range.
One of the not-so-secret secrets of gas stations is they don't really make much money on the gas. They really want you to come in and buy stuff. I can see chargers being viable at any gas station that has even a subway or McDonalds attached.
For that matter, there's an idea. Food chains should start adding chargers, not just along major highways, but in cities. Need to charge, you are going to choose to eat at the place with a charger.
