Charging speeds are going to be fast enough within a couple years. And the majority of charging will be done at home, where level 3 charging isn’t required.

I don't know if there's an guarantee of faster charging times, but I think for the most part that will work fine for the daily commuter scenario, but I was thinking about busy summer seasons on the road. How long would somebody wait in line for charging on their summer road trip when it's 30+ degrees out? It's something that needs to be figured out, because I am sure there will be people driving their ICE passed a line up of cars at an EV charging station and saying to themselves that they'll never do that. It will probably just come down to better trip planning; crowd-sourcing charging services to local residences as part of the whole gig economy comes into play where other EV owners rent out their supercharger (or equivalent) to passing traffic.
