They are basically as ubiquitous with 7,000 sites in the UK having Rapid or Ultra-Rapid chargers, compared to about 9,000 petrol stations. There’s 46,000 public charger locations if you include all types. They average 4 chargers per location.
In terms of speed, it all depends what you need. It’s rare you need to have a full charge when on a journey. You just need a bit to get you there, or get you home.
Sure if you stop for 100% every time it takes a long time, but that’s a dumb way to do it.
