Are people really driving so far to all the same places at the same time that charging is required? EV ranges are typically over 300km!
True, no one starts at the same locations, lots of people are going to have different itineraries, that diversity should help substantially
There are maybe 2 million people in Sydney, for example, so a 50km radius. A good portion of them (~100k cars) will head out at the start of a long weekend, in different directions, but along maybe 5 arterial roads. These split up again. While it's not "exact", think of it as a stream of cars which need charging. There are places to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, people will head out at different times and so on, but that gap is maybe 4 hours, so "lunch" maybe spread from 11-2.
