Perhaps I need to provide more disclaimers in my comments. I was specifically referring to auto manufacturers and businesses having little incentive to invest in charging infrastructure in the USA.
As I've said before, Norway has a population roughly the size of South Carolina, which is the 23rd most populous state in the US out of 50. What South Carolina is doing makes little difference.
I anticipate EV adoption to steadily increase, and for some businesses to figure out how to turn a profit from dispensing electricity, but it's not going to happen quickly (in the US).
Why would a shop provide charging infrastructure, and who would use it? I would charge my car at home where electricity is cheap and my schedule isn't dictated by the rate at which my battery charges. Some shops offer charging to boost their environmental image, but it's mostly a gimmick. Same with businesses that provide charging perks to their employees.
