This should be a good incentive for "gas stations" to set up and maintain SAE CCS DC Fast charging for electric vehicles. Put a couple of small tables and a cafe, and people would stick around for the 30 minutes to get a good charge.

That was the premise for CHAdeMO. Stop and have a cup of coffee and read the paper in a Starbucks-esque environment. Perhaps even mingle with one's fellow man.

I don't think it will really work outside of very specific demographics who a.) want to get coffee and read the paper/rss feeds, and b.) have 30 minutes to spend on a charge-centric event (as in you went there to charge, not to get coffee and croissant).
