the top two things needed for increased ev adoption are increases in dc fast charging locations(which is sort of being handled with Tesla opening up and nacs adoption) and faster charging speeds.
Strong disagree on charging speed, as 95% of EV charging is done at level 2 chargers. Charging speeds on the level of Teslas and the e-GMP cars are as much as we really need. So I’d put #1 at “more DCFC stations” (to alleviate non-EV owners’ range anxiety) and #2 at “more Level 2 chargers” (to actually serve EV owners’ charging needs).
Make L2 charging ubiquitous throughout places where people leave their cars parked for a while (shopping malls, movie theaters, grocery stores, etc), and heavily incentivize apartment landlords to install them, and EV adoption will be hindered only by how fast carmakers can manufacture them.
