I still find it a little odd or strange that the Applebees (for example) is paying for the electricity while Tesla is collecting for electricity consumed by the car owner.
Every Supercharger I've seen is fed from a separate transformer and meter... it's likely that the host site rarely if ever pays for the electricity. A destination charger might bring in enough business to justify the added electrical expense but it's unlikely a Supercharger could. The peak draw for an 8 bay SC would be >500kW. In most places that's ~$5k/mo in demand fees alone.... pretty sure the list of volunteers for that would be very short.
