Run to Charge Your Car?

The first of Gridserve's planned 100 UK electric car-only service stations has openned at Braintree in Essex (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2020/12/07/britains-first-electric-only-car-charging-station-opens/). The Braintree location, apparently has 36 rapid chargers that can supply, in only 20 minutes, sufficient electricity for the car to travel 200 miles. It also has shops and a gymnasium, where driver's activity on running machines, helps to supply the electricity to charge their vehicles. I am willing to bet, however, that drivers will be charged once for using the gym and once for having their car recharged.
