True, but it doesn't look like we're trending towards an entire parking lot/garage of chargers at the mall/grocery/theater/rec site/etc.

It'll probably trend like WiFi did. Initially it was seen as a luxury to draw people in. Nowadays people get pissed if you don't have it.

I doubt we will have dedicated "gas" stations for electricity in the future. Most car parking spaces will come equipped instead.

It’s not like they all need to be fully functional at the same time. I could see it being only a few are active at a time and it rotates the load as vehicles fill or leave.

Supply is well matched with current demand.

The Tesla "charging station" I've personally been to was a few chargers on the edge of a supermarket parking lot (I live in rural-ish Michigan).
