My little Eastern European hometown of 20k people has two stations of 8 plugs each.

I agree with your point, but I also assume it’s a not a supercharger-grade? Like in China they have quite often supercharger-grade in cities practically everywhere and prices per kilowatt are no different from slow-charging (like 22kW). While in Europe I noticed that price for kWh is different based on charger’s capacity.

It’s less based on the capacity, and more on how much time is likely a premium.
E.g. motorway services are more expensive, since people need the power and want to get back on the road. It’s exactly the same logic as the price of petrol there.
