The downside of electric vehicles.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

There are others. Where I live, there is plenty of parking, but none of it is assigned. One takes whatever one gets. Thus I (nor any of my neighbours) can have charging points.

That's a much more significant problem - electric cars won't really take off until there's infrastructure to support them, and no one wants to invest in the infrastructure until there's a lot more electric cars to make use of it.
