I'd rather see them make money on EV charging than continue to fight EVs - though they may well do both. Colocating EV charging with filling stations has been going on here for some time. I think it makes sense but would be interested in hearing arguments to the contrary. In early March 2020 - just before the lockdown - I stopped at a couple of autoroute aires (service plazas) on my way up to Paris in a rented ICEV. Both aires had EVs charging across the tarmac from the fuel pumps. Also, since 2021, Total, a major oil and gas vendor, has been going in for EV charging in a pretty substantial way. They're adding fast DC charging to their autoroute filling stations, and to some others in cities and rural areas. The number is now approaching 200 in France alone. The first charging points installed were 175kW. I think I recall reading that the most recent ones are 350kW. We haven't needed any of these yet but will probably be glad they're available when we do - though it's reputed to be some of the nation's most expensive public EV charging. For example, a km worth of their charging in a Zoe EV costs about what a km worth of petrol does in a similar ICEV Clio.
