It's a station that provide 2 x 160kW and 2 x 320kW charge points for a price slightly above the price of home electricity. Cost me ~10€ to charge from <30% to 90% (-45kW)
Quite classic here (we don't call them supercharger). I see around 150 stations in the 50km range around me with at least one 100kW charge point. So I wouldn't call it anecdotal as it's how people in appartement are doing it too around me.
Charging at home would cost me obviously less... if I had no installation cost and need to require authorization to the others owners, etc.. But the difference is small. Station is at 0.25€/kWh while home price is 0.27€ during peak hours and 0.20€ the other hours. If we had solar at home, home would win easily of course.
Regarding the charging rate, not really as the car balance the battery by rotating them automatically to have cells pack aging globally at the same rate (the car have a little more than annouced to have some margin in the cycle of the battery... it's quite clever). And they also apply proper heat control during the charge. So the battery don't degrade that much.
