As a Tesla owner this logic seems very strange to me. I hardly ever use the superchargers at a location like a mall unless I'm stopping at the mall specifically for the charging station. So it's clear to me that the mall has the supercharger to drive traffic to the mall, not because people at the mall need to charge their cars. When I'm just doing day-to-day driving I always charge at home, and don't even do so every day.

In fact, the beauty of owning an electric car for me has been the fact that my home acts as the "gas station" and I almost never need to think about charging my car elsewhere.

I think the focus, instead of being the mall or on-street parking, would be apartment buildings/multi-family homes. Having a parking spot per unit with a charger, or at least some equitable way of sharing chargers within a building, will be a necessary step to electrification.
