Garage operators would like to get more revenue for their existing buildings and it’s much less expensive if you’re not trying to build a couple hundred spot rapid-charging station to get everyone back on the road in 20 minutes - even a 110V plug would cover around half of the commuters in the United States working a standard 8 hour day, and you wouldn’t need anywhere near full capacity unless 100% of users lacked electrical hookups near their homes.

More importantly, this is the kind of thing which government funding could cover. Just the healthcare savings along from getting rid of ICEs would pay for a lot of it.
