Certainly something that needs to be addressed by them, or manufacturers will not be able to sell them. They will be punished unless they help with solutions.
I’ve seen several possibilities floated around here, so we have 12 years to build out one or more of them
landlords with off street parking can be incented or required to provide chargers, by zoning changes. Also at some point they won’t be able to find tenants unless they do
faster batteries will help reduce the wait time if you visit a supercharger once a week. It seems like we’re already down to half an hour to charge 5%—>80%
slow chargers at every destination (work, shops, restaurants) can keep you always topped off cheaply and without waiting
some street parking is conducive to charging, such as with pre-existing streetlight wiring
I don’t understand how either of those things fixes the problem though.
The cable has to be at least long enough to go from the lamp post to the curb which therefore requires it to cross the pavement. So it can’t be any shorter than the necessary length plus the distance that is required to travel over the car in case the charger is on the other side. Most cables are already not much longer than that.
I also fail to see the benefit in people bringing their own cables, all that does is it means that the cable isn’t there when you’re not charging, but it’s still a problem when you are charging.

Some little old biddy is going to trip over the cable though.
With personal charges it’s on your private property so there’s less of an issue. The public street it becomes a problem

If the cable belongs to individuals:
