I would say if there was as many Charging stations as gas pumps plus an affordable way to install level 2 charge stations in homes yes more EV drivers would come.

It's rather one of the big reasons folks don't get an EV

Most people don’t need a 240v charger at home. A 120v outlet will add 60 to 80 miles with overnight charging.

Public chargers are great if you are on a road trip or live in an apartment though. I’ve seen some experiments with 120v curbside charging from lamp posts. Would be nice if this was integrated into public parking meters.

I mean, I might get a little tingly, but I don't know if I'd go THAT far...

hmmn. Politicians (the dumpster) voted to ban chinese EVs, cancel incentives for american EV companies and pushes fossil fuels. All american auto makers have cancelled EV models. Dont think this investment is going anywhere soon.

Fair enough, still point is the lack of publicly available chargers is a major reason people don't go electric
