In principal, there is nothing wrong. The problem, in the US anyway, is
that generally each company requires a membership to use their station.
That is a completely ridiculous model, which might sound like a good
customer loyalty program but, in fact, is a deterrent to using any
charge station as it add risk that you might not be able to charge when
you get there.

BackgroundInformation...
I see nothing wrong with different companies charging stations in a
area. How about the gas stations. Some of our gas stations in my town
in Montana from four different oil companies are all place on a
intersection. They all get there product from the same refinery that is
here own by the Canadians.
The oil comes from Canada in a pipe line that was just put in several
years ago, crosses the border that did not have a problem like the XL
pipe line does.
The charging stations get there electricity from the same source in a
given area. We have 5 hydro dams here in our town where every body gets
there power. Right now are summer rate is about $0.05 per kwh, the
winter rate goes way up to $0.10 per kwh.
Does not matter where I charge, the price is the same.
