The connectors are a problem. Interesting I think the Euros have come close to nailing it down?
Charging is the choke point for EV use in the city where they would work very well.
On-street parking and charging without an armed guard are destined to fail.
Yes, power is theoretically available at every lamppost; and the city has thousands of thieves that will chop your charging cable off in the blink of an eye.
Wireless charging? That is a good laugh.
Energy loss with wireless charging? The ICE is looking better...Transmission efficiency and conversion efficiencies... It is a wonder any electrons make it to the battery?
Add in city approval for everything and everything, sticky fingers everywhere... the money goes in and disappears?
City dwellers do not stand a chance, and that is where the market is strongest.

Charging could be done at the workplace/store parking lots.
The amount of wiring to supply commercial areas would be far less than to rewire the entire grid.

Federal law could require special licenses for copper/aluminum scrap handlers that would make it impossible for the Larry Ladrons of the USA to obtain money for stolen charging cables.
