A lot of charging will happen overnight. I have a charger in my garage. So I can charge overnight and start in the morning with a full battery. There also are chargers at work that are free for employees. I need to charge about once a week, so usually I can do it at work.
Apartment buildings are putting chargers in their garages and parking lots. Cities are putting chargers on streets. There are new light poles that incorporate chargers. There are chargers in public parking garages and parking lots in towns, shopping centers, and at hospitals. You can plug in while shopping or eating out. These are usually level 2 chargers which are good for about 25 miles of charge per hour. This is actually fine, because normally you are driving a lot less than 25 miles to go shopping or do things in town.
The fast DC chargers are meant for road trips, when you are trying to make distance and don't have time to charge overnight. There are apps and web sites like PlugShare that you can use to plan where to charge.
