We're going to need a ton more spots, it only works now because almost no one has an EV and those that do are self selected to people who can charge at home. Somewhat ironically, EVs currently work best when you live in the suburbs and commute into the city. If you live in the city you likely won't have a garage where you can charge. Even if you drive to work and your work has parking and your work parking has EV spots at best there will only be a handful.
