As for your daily commute, my commute is 35 kms each way mostly highway. You'll def want to use the DCFC at Superstore cause it doesn't sound like you can use the dealership's level 2 charger daily.
If the dealership has the DCFC, then a quick 20 min charge daily is really all you need.
I used to go to Superstore at lunch time. Chill in the car while it was charging and eat my lunch or watch some youtube on my phone.

I know letting batteries run low isn't good for EVs in the long run, but based on the range and kWh of the i4 (84), it's going to be quick. If for whatever reason I can't use the work L2/DCFC at work, then I'm near a Superstore at both ends of my commute.

But if it's the dealership you work at, and the managers are cool with it, then you won't need a charger at home. Either DCFC/Lv2 will do just fine if you're there 5 days a week - whether it be frequent top ups or longer charges every couple of days are up to how you want to maintain your battery and what SOC you are at that day.

I'll call a spade a spade here, I work at BMW these days. That's why I mentioned the i4, and there's what appears to be two L2s and two DCFC plugs in the customer parking areas. I wouldn't think that management would have a problem with me taking some juice with either of them.
However, I'm also hearing that Superchargers might be open to all non-Teslas soon. Apparently it's going on in the EU. That would bring any anxiety about charging for me to zero because there's so damn many of them.
