You don't need them at every parking space, you just need enough density so owners can charge regularly. Maybe in Nimbyism America that's going to take a while (I recently took a trip to San Francisco and didn't even see one electric car charger), but elsewhere it's already possible. In my Eastern European country most supermarkets and shopping malls have electric car chargers, and in the city center there is nearly one fast charger per square km. You can already own an EV here, if you live in an apartment but have to park it on the street.
The average American drives 16 miles each way to work, so that's 160 miles a week comuting. If they had a Model 3, even charging once a week would be more than enough.
