Electric Vehicles’ Day Will Come, and It Might Come Suddenly

It may be different but it doesn't mean that it's impossible to achieve. Building the EV infrastruture is relatively cheap (compared to say building a gas-powered or hydrogen infrastructure). Tesla has already built its own (not perfect, but "good enough"), and the other car makers have joined alliances to build their own. Also new companies have appeared whose sole reason to exist is to build such infrastructures. Plus, power companies are getting in on the action, too, finally realizing that this could be big business for them in the future.

The EV infrastructure should be mostly complete by 2025. Most car makers won't start invading the market with EVs until 2023, or so anyway.

Many streets have these things called 'lamp posts', into which electricity is being supplied. All you need to do is work out how to bill it.

Having had a quick look at our street, there is a lamp-post for about every 10 cars.
