The current needed to charge an EV is far higher than what a parking meter was wired for.

Privately run charging stations on public sidewalks are few and pricey and most of the time sitting empty.

So it's clear that if you want a mass switch to EVs the government will need to subsidize the infrastructure to make EV charging affordable. However, digging up the sidewalks of a whole city with public funds to cable it for EV charging is the last thing taxpayers want to hear even in green Austria since it's seen as a something that will only benefit the top % that can afford EVs and they already have charging stations at their houses.

So we're back to square one.
