In German cities during the night, the streets look hardly different from southern countries, where any place that a car is able to fit goes.

Is the only time of the day where police and civil police (ordungsamt) seem to close their eyes to what is clearly a violation of proper parking.

A couple of chargers here and there, hardly help.

It's more varied than a couple here and there. It really depends on where you are living, and even which part of town in which town. In my german location I see 6 type two chargers from my balconies, most of time only two of them used. I think I'd have to rewind my cam feeds for very long to see all of them used. Don't know exactly, never watched for that, so far :-) There are at least 2 dozen other chargers in a walking distance of 2 to 3 minutes. And much more on many parking spaces of businesses a litlle farther away. In my stroboscopic flashes of memories from the times I visit, they've grown more and more over the last years. Still don't care, because in HH I usually walk, ride my bicycle, or take the fucking BUS &BAHN. In my other location I pose as the man in the high castle, and guzzle gas, as it should be. EV is inconvenient to me, you see?

True, but I think the solution to that problem is simply less cars. On-street parking it's a huge subsidy for car owners, if people had to prove that they own a parking space fewer people would have cars.

Most people buy cars because even in European cities public transport sucks, unless one lives right into the city center.

A few km into the suburbs and hello to 1 - 2 hours transit time to come into the city center, with multiple connections, delays, dropped connections, stuffed with as much humans as possible, freezing in Winter, cooking in Summer,....

A couple of chargers here and there is not the desired end state.
