Those of us in northern countries have block heater plugs in parking spots of residential buildings.
Partial solution is work place charging which is already growing faster than they expected. Level one 120 volt 12 amp charging is not so hard. Level 2 240 volt 12 amp or higher is a little tougher. It’ll be a gradual requirement and a gradual adaptation.
Except in cold weather “those of us in northern countries” need Most of theamps of a 120 volt power supply just to keep the batteries warm enough to function and / or take a charge.
In winter weather with batteries warm from driving I rarely see anything more than 5 to 10 kmh / hour from a 120 outlet.
