for people living in cities with no parking space of their own, it's a non starter. for people who do have their own, you need to pay for infrastructure. where you don't (i.e. subsidy), you are stealing from poorer people who can not afford EV/have no parking space of their own. they are STUPIDLY hogging battery material compared to plug in hybrids - most people drive 30, 40 km per day tops. they can do that milage on mostly batterty in a hybrid. you can put 5 hybrids on the road for one Tesla and get 5X the carbon reduction. and - if properly adopted, and knowing what we know about the grid, they will make very beautiful paperweights, if you can lift them in the parking lot to put some papers under the wheels.
The infrastructure vicious circle is a great one: investors in chargers need to know the demand will be there before they make a commitment. EV buyers want to know that the chargers will be there before they buy an EV. Enter the government and its public spending funds.
