‘It’s a bit ridiculous’: Toronto man frustrated after EV charging plans shut down
Mark Bishop spent a year and half working with the city to get permission to build a parking pad on his property to accommodate an EV charger. The city ultimately said no.
A Toronto man hoping to make the switch to an electric vehicle was left frustrated after consulting and working with the city for more than a year and a half, only to have his request to build a parking pad to support a charging station denied.

I think the counsellor has it right. Letting hundreds of thousands of people build front parking pads isn’t the way.
Not for every case but the NOW problem is getting EVs accepted. Eventually with public support and pressure a long term solution could be implemented, like streetside chargers.
The NOW problem is to invest in public transit.
EVs aren't going to help much. It's still just a big pile of plastics and petroleum based lube and a whole lot of precious metals being mined by companies that produce a lot of pollution in countries with shady human rights.
Why should I have to pay for transit that I don't use?
