I think you would see electric cars take off if those without garages or driveways had a way to charge them nightly. I know I would have one on my list. Perhaps use the government buyers incentive to instead give a write down to developers to install charging stations in their parking lots.

The market of "people who can already conveniently charge an electric car" is big enough for them be much more popular than they are now.

Also, many places in the US already have government incentives or requirements for charging infrastructure.
