German Chancellor Olaf Scholz lauded the German car industry's efforts at electrification at Munich's IAA car show and condemned protests as "irritating" as he announced a new law to expand the number of electric vehicle charging stations.
My understanding is that level 2 street charging is growing. They also do things a little differently in that rather than having a cord at each station (prone to theft/vandalism) drivers carry their own cord that plugs into the station and the car.
Another thing to consider is that people driving within the city probably don’t cover much distance. Depending on pricing vs gas, 15 minutes at a fast charger every week or two may be enough to get by and worth it.
Housing density and the things it comes with are absolutely a factor. But maybe not an insurmountable one.
