Gas station pumps being out are acceptable when time to refill is sub 3 minutes.
A single stall being out can mean someone waiting 15+ minutes, but some stations are so busy that it could easily lead to a line of cars.
Additionally since level 3 chargers are pivotal to road trips, people aren't casually stopping by them 'to top up', they usually are down to <50 miles of range when they stop, meaning continuing on may actually be impossible depending location of next charging station.
