What are you on about with niches? Most people can't afford a brand new EV car and have nowhere to charge it.

People buying a new car can afford an EV. They should have to justify getting a gas engine. Part of this is they need to demand chargers (and more people buying EVs will result in chargers) in useful places to charge their car.

The above covers about 98% of all car sales: you can make an EV and if everybody else is also buying EVs that creates enough demand for things like chargers that they will automatically go in to fill the demand.
