Parking for charging can be done en masse though. For example, waymo could have a single large charging facility somewhere out-of-the-way. Small price to pay in my opinion.
The parking gains are huge though. As adoption increases, parking demand for shopping centers, apartments, workplaces, etc. should all decrease. Say hello to higher density cities. Although I imagine it will take quite a while (decades) for these pressures to have a real effect.
Yeah I imagine it will be many decades. Simply because minimum parking requirements would have to be removed (which is unpopular in a lot of cities), and then redevelopment would need to take place based on demand and investment potential.
