The thing is, you shouldn't compare supercharger prices with gas prices. The gas price is the same every time you fill your car, whether you're driving in the city or road-tripping. I know gas prices vary per state/country but, for the sake of the argument here... With an EV, most charging happens at home, or at least that's how it's designed for most users. For many of us, home charging is cheap. Supercharging is for road trips, which I would say the majority of people don't do every week. Thus supercharger prices don't matter that much. They also need to cover the charger costs, the location costs, sometimes high demand extra prices because it's a big "pull".
Gas prices go up quite a bit around here in holiday periods so people get dinged when they buy the most fuel. Yet most people seem to forget that when they compare with EVs.
