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.
My next car could be a M-B EQS (I wish). Although less powerful than the current top of the range, it will do 400 miles on a charge (more than my petrol motor car) and accelerate faster. Top speed is irrelevant in UK. The charging points will accept 3-phases, i.e 96 A or "100 mph" charging. So most days that would take no more than 20 minutes. Or charge weekly for an hour or two.
I cannot see why any new supply would be single phase. The extra cost of three phases is very little, except that there would need to be a TPN DB and a lot of domestic installers are probably afraid of three phase.
