Personally, I think the solution is for electric cars to have enough range that you don't need to plug them when away from home on routine trips, and for charging to be fast enough and available enough from dedicated stations that you can still do road trips.

Even if every parking space out there has a charger, I don't want to plug in every time I park my car. I want my car to go hundreds of miles in between charges so I don't have to care. That's not yet practical unless you spend serious money, but anything else seems like a workaround.

This is clearly the Tesla plan and definitely the way most people charge them.

Not coincidentally, that's exactly what I was referring to with "unless you spend serious money".
