BEVs are a greenwashing scam. They are frankly just a ploy by corporations to be dependent on their product just like we are to oil. In fact, it's even worse since it is part of the Chinese government's agenda to of dominating the car industry. Much of what we hear may legitimately be propaganda from the Chinese government.
Toyota is fundamental correct in their assessment. The BEV is destined for failure since it has no purpose but the serve some specific group or interest. As a result, they've invested in alternative ideas such as hydrogen cars. Instead of being the curve, they are likely far ahead of it. It is everyone else that wasting all of their resources on a dead-end.

Thanks for the input. I hope I was at least making sense previously even though it was more of a utopian society that we’d probably get to see something like that.
I’m not having kids, but I’d like for the youth of today to grow up in a more eco friendly lifestyle without the need for gas in the future.

You’re not wrong that more chargepoints help, it reduces EV resistance and range concerns, and hence helps consumers be willing to buy EVs.
It won’t stop legacy ICE lobbying to delay mandatory cutoff on ICE sales.
They (collectively) have $trillions invested in ICE factories and engine designs etc that become valueless when ICE are banned. As VW found out leveraging existing factories is ineffective, you need to build for EV manufacture, which means billions in written off assets and years of delay for legacy auto.
If they can convince any market to delay the ban that’s literally dollars in the bank and bonuses in pocket.
