Pardon the pun, but I agree the current lack of charging infrastructure is an "inconvenient truth" for many EV owners (or would-be owners). For those of us that live in apartments/condos/townhouses where residents don't have a dedicated garage, figuring out the charging is the hardest part. From personal experience: some newer apartments have charging stations installed, but there's typically only ~3 of them in a building of 200-300+ residents, so if >3 people buy an EV, they have to play charging musical chairs. For condos and townhouses, there's the trouble of figuring out how to install a 220V outlet and run a charging cable to your car in a way that people won't trip over it. While charging at other locations can be an option, it's also pretty annoying to have to wait around a grocery store or parking lot (or some other random location) for at least 2-3hrs for your car to charge. It sucks because I want an EV, but without having a convenient spot to charge it, it feels like running around with an iPhone5 when they first came out desperately looking for a lightning cable.
