Charging stations in remote locations use batteries to smooth the load so that they don't need a 2.5MW connection.

With a 95% efficient grid, and a 85% efficient battery, and a 80% efficient car you'd get an overall efficiency of ~65%. Still better than an ICE, I guess, and you can use local solar energy.
It's probably not even too expensive.
The batteries should be much more efficient than 85% since they wouldn't use an inverter.
