It is a great opportunity for cities to charge money on top of the direct energy costs for street parking.
And yes, the infrastructure roll out will be extensive and take time, but it can happen slowly over time as electric car adoption expands.
Most people in cities don't use their cars much either. Tesla is already building super chargers in cities. If you only drive in cities and you really only park at spot where there is no charging, and you can't charge at work. You can just go charging at a super charger once a week or so.
To suggest hydrogen is a better option because of this very limited single concern, public parking in cities, is crazy in my opinion. Also the city could let a company do it as long as they get part of the money, and in fact this is already what many companies are doing.
