Same experience. The infrastructure simply isn't there yet in most towns or cities.

Those who think otherwise forget that a large number of people in OECD countries don't own their own parking spots or have the legal right to run electricity or install their own chargers.

They also seem to greatly underestimate what it would cost to saturate street-side parking spots with car chargers.

Charging will eventually become convenient for people who don“t live in detached housing or happen to be in a small handful of forward-thinking towns or cities, but it's going to take a fair amount of time.
