I agree with your point, but I also assume it’s a not a supercharger-grade? Like in China they have quite often supercharger-grade in cities practically everywhere and prices per kilowatt are no different from slow-charging (like 22kW). While in Europe I noticed that price for kWh is different based on charger’s capacity.
It's less based on the capacity, and more on how much time is likely a premium.
E.g. motorway services are more expensive, since people need the power and want to get back on the road. It's exactly the same logic as the price of petrol there.
Makes sense! Thank you!
One of the two is actually a Tesla supercharger
Awesome! Thanks!
