Are there superchargers that don’t “accept free supercharging”?

[Outdoors]

An eight-stall Supercharger costs about $950k to install. Assuming $0.20 delta per kwh for gross power sales margin, I fail to make the investment math work. A private owner would need other incentives, because in today’s world construction cost for a McDonald’s or convenience store is under $3 milion, ex-land. Adding $1 million to that is a huge lift for what kind of return?.

Which proves my point. This is a non issue, and more likely a private install on private property for private use. Maybe a few high end business or hotels that want to stand out. It's a NACS charger. Maybe some local or state incentives.

So the thought of Tesla giving up on a local install because a local grocery store is going to install a million dollar install is likely never going to happen, yet provides for much thought and conversation.

I can connect you with people who can show you the math on how this works. Just DM me.
