> Everybody will be charging at home/work. Other places you'll likely charge are conveniently located places between long distance destinations. Rest areas for example.

It seems like there's a lot of work to be done to scale this up for when electric vehicles get more popular. Many apartment complexes I see have no facilities for this, for example. But electric vehicles are also quite rare in this area.

Most people in the US live in single family homes. A ton of those homes have plenty of power capacity to add an EV to charge at home overnight. Sure, things might be complicated for apartment dwellers at the moment, but a massive percentage of the commuter miles driven in the US could be easily handled with EVs without massive infrastructure change.
