Announced in June 2021 the new 250 location chain of 7-Eleven SuperChargers will operate with unique technology that Tesla owners might find intriguing. This was explained in a video I watched but have lost since then and cannot find in searches. Anyway these are what I call "one-shot superchargers" since they store up a relatively slow charge using the existing electric wiring of a 7-Eleven store into *batteries* similar to a PowerWall. Then when an EV arrives wanting a charge the EV plugs its DCFC or Chademo or (gasp) maybe even a Tesla plug into the 7-Eleven stantion/kiosk charging unit and charging takes place rapidly. All this without the store having to install high power transformers and get special construction permits etc since it only uses a 40 amp 240 volt circuit that could be easily hooked into the existing wiring of the store.
This is an excellent plan for out of the way locations that might only be visited a few times a day. You could push a button and the screen could show how full the battery is and how long before it could deliver a fast supercharge to your EV. Some of these stations already exist, maybe in California, so please someone check this out.
