That's for the fortunate few who live in individual homes. Unfortunately the biggest part of the population lives in cities, in apartment buildings, and park their cars in the streets.

So, where (and when?) would those people be able to charge an EV? Unless all urban sidewalks grow a forest of safe (and working!) charging stations, those people simply can't have an EV, even if it's the only mobility option left. Obviously that forest of charging stations will never happen, simply because it would cost way too much to build and operate. You'll get some charging facilities in some hip/well-off neighborhoods, and the rest of the world will have to find a solution ("Not our problem").
