Ya, I don't think the problem is for in and around the city and home. It's as soon as you need to venture out more than 300km one way, which I why I was pointing out Canmore and Golden. The gas stations are swamped now, so I don't see why charging stations wouldn't be to the same degree, in the hypothetical world where we replace petrol with ev's. The problem is you need to build to meet peak demand, which is summer long weekends. Otherwise it will be pretty chaotic.
And yes, some people are saying we need to get off gas now, and move to electric in the next decade. I'm pointing out why that is extremely challenging.
And FWIW, I ran 200A to my garage, and wired up 2 50A circuits (cost about $300 for parts) so I'm totally ready, should I need it. Probably more difficult for the people who can't use their garages because they are full of crap.
