No, it’s most definitely not the same for the network. The sizing of everything in electrical infrastructure - generators, transformers, cables, protection devices - is bound to the current going through them. When you deliver the same energy in a much quicker time, you can only do so by increasing the current. Which means that, unless people are charging in low demand hours (e.g. at night), your infrastructure will either buckle or “shed loads”. Load shedding is when a circuit is dropped to prevent the overall network to brownout. Better not place the chargers in the same circuit as hospital and homes for the elderly!
False, the chargers have transformers, and I bet charging stations with 20+ chargers have local transformer stations too.
For one transformer station to supply for instance 12 chargers at 100 amps each or 4 at 300 amps each is both 1200 amps.

You obviously completely failed to understand my explanation that this is not what is happening on the scale of charging stations with many available charging slots.
Obviously these 1,5 MWh charging stations will not be availbale at you local grocery store, they are part of bigger installations with probably already around 20 charging slots of 300-400 kWh charging capacity.
