That is not culture, that is a habit. It may be difficult to break, but habits change. Today you see long lines to buy coffee at Starbucks, these were not there 10 years ago - someone created that habit, many followed. One simple question: where do you charge your cellphone and laptop? On-the-go or at home or both? I think the same is true for EVs. There won't be electric plug-in stations on every streetcorner in the near future. There will be scattered public charging stations and a concentration in every shopping and work destination, plus the normal one you use for overnight charging in your garage/carport/assigned parking space and probably eventually, a lot of curbside charging for those who can't park on premises for whatever reason.
