The issue with this mentality is that lots of people (or even most) can't charge at home or at work. If you have fast charging cars and enough stations then you don't need to address this issue and you now have a drop in fossil fuel replacement rather than something that needs lots of new local infrastructure.

Lots of people, yes but far from most. If you live in a house you can at the very least do level 1 charging which will meet you 30-50 miles of range per day.

Literally anybody who lives in an apartment block. Or anyone who's front door is too far to run a charging cable. Then charging at work is even fewer people. In my country most people can't park directly outside their house to begin with even if they own a house. This is very naïve.
