Impatience wouldn't make a difference if home charging was more widely available. New home construction to have charging requirements.
Homes with a garage should require at least 1 dedicated 50 amp circuit near a parking space. Apartment complexes should be required to install X number of chargers per unit. There are several options on the market to allow them to charge for the electricity on a per unit basis if utilities aren't included in rent, or if they want to charge that separately.
Overnight charging doesn't even need 50A L2. Less than half that is plenty for most users.
