I noticed that my local grocery store has power outlets on all the street lights in the parking lot.
They use these to power X-mas tree lights they decorate the poles of the street lights with in the winter.
These are basically existing electric vehicle charging stations!
Drive to the grocery store, plug in, and charge while you shop!
I would love to talk to the property managers about some sort of trade of allowing me to plug in, in exchange for newspaper and TV publicity about how eco-friendly they are that they are helping promote eco-friendly vehicles!
Here's a video telling the basics.
