I think it is funny that 10 charging stalls is considered massive.
This is massive for this style of charger layout. I tried them initially when they were introduced in Vancouver. The sites were set up between 1 and 4 chargers. Being battery supplied, they deplete quickly and have to recover. Having 10 will lessen this issue. Still not as seemless as a tesla supercharger when trying to charge. They revert to a L2 speed when depleted because they are only supplied with 220v unless this generation of units has been improved.
It's the largest CCS1 charging station in BC and given that most EVs in BC are Teslas it's proportionately as large as the largest Tesla SC station.
IIRC, each post is fed with a 240v/200 amp supply, and this is approximately what they supply when depleted.
So once the battery is depleted they drop to ~48kW? (And when charging in that "conserve" mode it is free, even after the initial trial period where it is all free, right?)
I could see people seeking out those "slow" free chargers.
Yes, IIRC the rate will drop into the 40kw range when the battery is depleted, I don't know what the eventual pricing scheme will be, but given the typical charge taper, if you can get to 50% SOC before battery depletion, it shouldn't effect overall charge time that much. Pray that the previous EV was a Chevy Bolt!

Simultaneous ultra-fast EV charging (max CCS 200 kW, max CHAdeMO 100 kW). These chargers use an internal battery to ease the burden on the electrical grid and allow us to place more chargers in more locations to serve EV drivers. Max charging speeds may vary. Charging your vehicle may take...

I wish we'd build the kind of trailer friendly stall layouts that I see in TeslaBjørn's videos. Unhitching the Seadoos to charge is such a pain in the butt...

Not from what I have seen. When I was using one it dropped to 16 kW. If you look on Plugshare you will see folks getting anywhere from 7.5 to 17 kW when the battery is depleted.
