No, I am saying that the current amount of chargers in locations (10) is likely sufficient for the existing "demand", but woefully inadequate if the artificial demand being constructed by forced quotas was actually met (ie, if all the hundreds of existing petrol cars switched to electric).
If all petrol stations suddenly only had 1 pump, we'd say that the infrastructure was inadequate, not that the overburdened 1 pump indicated a great demand for petrol cars.

Well obviously yes! But mandating a minimum number of electric cars sold whilst NOT mandating an equivalent number of chargers being fitted is a recipe for disappointment.
