Medium-term solution:
EV chargers can be integrated into lamp posts or other items of street furniture. A city-wide network of charging points can be managed using contactless payment, with IoT sensors to indicate vacant charging points. Building out widespread on-street charging infrastructure won't be quick or cheap, but it's entirely feasible with existing technology.
There's also a reasonable expectation that some combination of car-sharing, ride-sharing and autonomous vehicles will significantly reduce the rate of private car ownership. Electric bicycles and scooters show tremendous potential for reducing the demand for car ownership in urban areas. Good public transit of course has a major role to play.

- toast0 8y agoAutonomous vehicles makes owning a car even more convenient. I don't have to worry about parking, it can drop me off at the door, and then go park a mile away (or just circle around). I can get one for my child, so I don't have to drive him to school or let him walk/bike to school (it's dangerous, what with all the cars around).
