Long term this is probably the solution. Sort term though - the ratio of cars to street side charging is about 50 to 1 right now. Even if we put a charging socket in every existing lamppost we'd still only be at about 10:1. We basically need to dig up the streets of entire cities and lay additional high voltage cables and a charging point at every parking space. There doesn't seem to be any desire to do that right now.

You're right. I've just had a google and looked on https://www.zap-map.com/ - there's not enough though.

But I stand by my original point - it's hard enough to find somewhere to park, never mind the parking spot next to the charger.
