There's no money in DCFC. I think it was the EVGO president that said their break even point is 30% utilization. That means it's being used 30% of the day, every day, to make zero dollars. That's 7 hours every day.

I can't see DCFC ever turning a profit unless it's linked to other profit generators where people spend money because they have an hour to kill and boredom has them spending money for entertainment/eating.
