How does everyone feel about folks charging their electric vehicle with the power cord on the sidewalk? I want an EV but also want to be a considerate neighbor. Pic is not JC, just an example I found online.moobycow t1_ir6uc03 wrote

This would likely be awful, narrower sidewalks, probably less parking, wires everywhere, more difficult trash pickup and a completely overloaded electrical grid.
On the plus side, maybe if they lined all the streets with chargers, they could move the grid underground.

You're going to have to upgrade the grid no matter what, it's not an option.
The rest, you don't need chargers on every street. Even if everyone had an electric car they wouldn't need to charge it every night, most would only need to once a week. Maybe put them on only one side of the street, every other block, wherever is appropriate.
