When I'm in some unknown location I'm not going to hire an electrician to put in a charging station where I happen to need one. I depend on one being there. However as I already said charge at home means refueling places become uneconomical and they out out of business meaning that even though it isn't hard to put a charging station anywhere that doesn't mean they will exist.

Of course what I'm lacking is knowing how much this will affect things long term. Right no charging stations are being installed on hope they are worth it, if this turns out to be false owners will start to tear them out.

Business owners, land owners, and property managers are working with EV charging station partners to install chargers because EV owners spend money while charging. For example, Tesla colocates Superchargers at Meijer in the Midwest (a grocery store chain) and Wawa in Florida and on the East Coast (which isn't just a convenience store with bathrooms, but also makes sandwiches and such). There is a Wawa location in Vienna, VA that only has EV chargers [1], no petrol pumps. I'll agree that chargers aren't ubiquitous, yet, but they are being deployed rapidly. Tesla continues to own their Supercharger stations (and all associated equipment), and I've heard mostly positive reviews from business owners who provide Tesla destination (high power wall chargers) and J1772 Clipper Creek chargers to patrons.

It's a net positive if we push petroleum refueling stations out of business. They sell a harmful product that we're working to phase out rapidly through electrification of transportation, and there will be a cost to remove and remediate petroleum storage tanks that were used at these stations.

In short, the EV charging infra will be built, but if there's someplace you want to go that doesn't have chargers, make it known to those folks you're looking for that amenity (now, or in the future).
