Petrol stations have various strict requirements regarding their electrical installations for obvious reasons. How will adding a MW size supply for a few high power chargers be dealt with, separation? Will earth leakage currents be a problem? If I remember correctly the reason the canopys are so high is to move the lighting into a different zone.
There are a pair of Instavolt chargers at the local (BP) petrol station. They are adjacent to the footway and on the opposite side of the plot to the shop. They are well away from the canopy and some distance from the car wash. When they were installed, a (fairly hefty) cable was simply jointed to the mains under the grass verge.
ETA: To make it clear, the chargers have their own supply from the DNO's mains in the street.
Although I do not pass by every day, I see them in use about once a year. ?
