Yes. Everything you said is true. The places I see level 3 chargers the most is Malls or shopping centers, where 30 minutes to grab lunch or do some shopping can be integrated with getting a charge.
Battery tech is improving (some fancy stuff removing some components of li-ion batteries can improving the charging speed greatly: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1388248118302601 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S138824811...)
If charging time can be put down to a couple of minutes, the number of chargers go down... powering them is the last question...
small scale (used fuel) nuclear reactors seem like a really promising option for fast power scaling. they can be built super fast (about 3 years - compared to the old-school options of 8-10 years). https://www.nuscalepower.com/-/media/nuscale/pdf/publications/nuscale-smr-technology-an-ideal-solution-for-coal-plant-replacement.pdf https://www.nuscalepower.com/-/media/nuscale/pdf/publication...
Yep. It's a lot of work: money to do it all is up for grabs. Opportunity for a lot of people is knocking.
