Charging is one part of the equation. You are assuming that charging is something that all cars need frequently, it doesn't have to be like that. Concepts like Lightyear One prove that we can create cars that pass our crash requirements, have the space requirements, but yet are light enough and aerodynamic enough to have minimal power consumption. The catch is people need to start to come to terms with the fact that personal transport has to ultimately be utilitarian. Yes it might mean you won't go 0-60 in 7 secs, yes it might mean that you will have to give up an oversized 3 tonne vehicle to 'feel safe'. Also cars shouldn't be a status symbol for anything, auto manufactures have exploited this to no end with dire environmental impacts. Ideally what governments need to promote and invest in is public transit, especially inside densely urban areas. A car as a personal means of transport should only be something you feel you need when travelling to more 'remote' areas where public transit is non-existing or too sparse.
