It's a colossal undertaking no one wants to talk about, because without it, EV's are going to cap out at 30 to 40% of the market.
It is neither monumental or colossal. A modest charging station takes about 45 days from inception, to design, to permit, to installation. And it can get down to 20 days. It is no harder than a new aircon, carport or loo in your house. A no-brainer. A greater concern is retraining all techs and indies to work on ERS and KERS.
Apparently you're not aware of Ohm's Law or even just the challenges of navigating the massive complexity of building regulations. Creating a suitable public charging network at scale is absolutely colossal and monumental. This is far, far more complex and difficult than just installing the chargers themselves.
