Someone else posted a picture already, but The Netherlands has a nationwide network of municipal-run charging stations. In Amsterdam they're placed in the middle of two parking spaces and have two sockets that service those two spaces, which are reserved for EV charging. If you buy an EV you can ask the municipality to install more of these parking spots, and depending on existing saturation they will. You get an RFID card that you hold up to the charging station to activate it, and you're then charged for its use.
