You forget charging at home. There are currently around 100M home charging stations in the US, most of them completely underused :-)
So every home is a charging station and if the range for EVs keep increasing 10 percent per year we will reach 400 miles in 2 years, 500 miles in less than 5 years. By then, road side charging stations will be for people driving more than 7 hours in a day and for the very forgetful.
I drove more than 300 miles in one day once this year, and I still haven't driven more than 400 miles in a single day this year.
Even if you commute 30 miles to work and 30 miles back, you would only have to charge your Tesla model 3 in the weekends. In 5 years you could drive 100 miles a day and still only charge your EV every weekend.
