For most people living in urban areas, having their own individual charging spot is out of the question, and it's only going to get worse as urban areas get denser, which is the current trend that I don't see reversing in any foreseeable future.
Most homes have a garage. most condominium / apartment complexes have assigned parking places. In your garage you have a power outlet.
Apartment complexes can install chargers.
It is up to legislature to mandate power outlets. In many area's of california it is now mandatory for new buildings (single family and multifamily dwellings to have
- charger connection point ( pre-wiring : fiue and loadbox. you install the charger itself as that depends on the car. If you have a tesla you are set. no charge required just plug in to the nema 14-50
- conduit running from loadpanel to the roof , sometimes pre-wired for future solar installation
- certain areas make solar mandatory
for remodeling that involves changing loadpanel : see above. you need to install an extra breaker pair and the outlet.
The cost is minimal and it drives up the value of the house.
We just don't have the ability to generate that much electricity
I see that. In Belgium they now have an 'afschakelplan'. Their power-plants are so aging that they can't supply enough power and they selectively will switch off power to certain municipalities and cities when needed. Welcome to almost 2019. Where the country that hosts the capital of the European union can't even guarantee enough power for its citizens... It's a disgrace ! they should fire ALL the European ministers responsible for that fiasco. Donating millions to provide help in africa so they can have power over there... and there's not enough in their own country. IDIOTS.
Current battery technologies also make use of materials that are not renewable
Lithium cobalt cells are for almost 95% recyclable into new cells. There is very little filler in the packs.
