Not only does the charging infrastructure need to be in place, but our entire electric grid has to be massively updated/increased for EVs to become mainstream. EVs are NOT, contrary to popular belief, that "green". Just the manufacture and disposal of batteries is a huge environmental issue, and most of the electricity in the US is produced burning coal and natural gas. That production would need to more than double if all vehicles on our roads were EV. Even adding solar to every rooftop is problematic (not all areas are conducive to good solar production, and the manufacture of the solar panels themselves, like batteries, is not entirely "green". So realistically, EVs are a temporary stopgap measure to truly "green" vehicles, like hydrogen fuel cells perhaps.
Of course, even the internal combustion engine vehicles were touted as an environmental step forward; a way to help address the horse manure and urine that blanketed the streets of large cities in the late 1800s (1 million tons of manure per year in New York City alone).
