If we want everyone to drive electric, we'll need a lot of public charging. People will need to charge on longer trips, some people might forget to charge at home, and some will not even have the possibility. It's already obvious that the charging point operators will try to squeeze as much money out of everyone's pockets as they can get away with. Just like with the oil cartel, they have a customer base that pretty much has no other choice but to buy from them.
Once people are used to high prices and simply accept them, it will be the new normal. EVs won't turn out to be as cheap to operate in such a future as is currently assumed. That's what we seem to be headed for.
