You still need grid support, but SoCal Costcos plaster their roofs with solar panels and install a dozen or so chargers. Get gas or charge up while you shop. Local grocery stores also have a handful of chargers and rooftop solar

Totally true! In those applications, they're often level 2 chargers, much lower power than a DC fast charger. To drop in a few DC fast chargers, most grid operators get a little twitchy. Interconnection upgrades and steep demand charges can make it cost prohibitive.

That's more about driving shopping traffic though.
