Wait you think digging a hole and putting in a few tanks to store gas is harder than having substations near by to power super charge stations?

The answer is no, no it is not easier or cheaper.

So what do they power those gas pumps with? Electricity, by any chance?

You do understand a 400amp service is usually what those stations run off of right? You're not getting multiple super chargers from 400amps. You need substations for them.
