In US urban areas, I don't know. But along US freeways, I'd like to see
something similar to what France did.
Every so many kilometers, there's a services stop. It's much like our US
rest areas except it has fueling servcies, convenience store(s) and
usually some food service choices. I believe these are contracted out to
vendors, not provided by the autoroute operator.
In the case of US freeways, what if we did something similar where the
state funded a bank of ESVEs (at high kW) at various rest stops and
worked out a payback from contracting service operators (food, etc.).
Cost up front to the state would be significant but, after some years,
the cost would be zero.
By the way, these autoroute service areas are really convenient. Rather
than exit at some interchange, sit at various stop lights, and hunt
around for the services you want, you simply take the exit and park.
Really easy. Then you zip back on your way.

I would say that whatever companies/entities that want BEVs to succeed would assume the
responsibility. That is clearly not most auto manufacturers. OR most players in the
"charging industry". ONE stands out and, single handedly, is responsible for
the success of BEVs.
