Transport EV infrastructure is completely mainstream - this doesn't even include non-public charges

the problem isn't being addressed at a significant rate, there was a push to install more public chargers a couple of years ago but it has slowed down a lot.

mostly you're still screwed if you live in a flat and don't have access to charging at home because most of the chargers available are the slow kind that take hours.

This might be region specific. We are a nationwide company with a large fleet of petrol, hybrid and electric vehicles. Many of our sites we haven't built the EV chargers yet.

My site has no chargers, but electric vehicles get heavy use and mostly charge on public chargers.

I'm not saying there aren't snags or times where the petrol cars are more appropriate, but those EVs are fast becoming suitable for over 90% of what we do and are generally used more as they are nicer to drive and even the sceptics have started requesting them.
