> I've heard an argument that places of work will provide charging points - but why would they? For the same reason why they provide (in one way or another) parking spots - because otherwise people can't get to the work place, and because it'll be another way to earn some money. But even if not, shopping centers have a strong motivation to provide charging ports - if you don't have another good option, are you going to shop at the cheap mall, or at the slightly more expensive one where you can also spend some more money to charge your car? Assuming today's top technology will be common by then, you can expect to get hundreds of kilometers of range range during a 30 minute shopping trip. Cities could also start adding charging stations to light posts, or install dedicated chargers, in the 15 years until then.
