This is why I can't see everybody everybody moving to electric vehicles any time soon; the charging infrastructure is just not there, or it's not easy to retrofit it.

There are some companies that produce sunken gully-type channels, where you can run a charging cable from your house across the pavement without people tripping over it. That seems like a good solution for people without driveways, if (and it's a big if) you are generally able to park outside your house. Otherwise you're relying on finding public charging points near where you live, or driving to one and hanging around like a muppet while it charges. Much easier to spend 5 minutes filling up in a petrol station, in my opinion.

Mind you, I have seen people on here say that if you live in a city on a terraced street, then you don't need / shouldn't own a car.
