There are still huge numbers of car owners who do not have off-site parking to charge EVs. Unless EV public charging is able to 'refuel' completely in a couple of minutes, going 100% electric is just not feasible.
There is no way most governments will be able to provide suitable infrastructure in the near future.

Stick a fast charger at McDonald's and Chipotle and Target and Safeway, then people will be able to charge while doing the things they already would be. It doesn't even have to be especially fast. It just needs to give a reasonable amount of charge for the time that people would be at the location. If I'm going to be spending an hour at a restaurant, I don't need to have it be done charging in 20 minutes.
