Possibly someone from California may have some insight into this potential problem.

OP, if you are looking to move into the villages or the surrounding area, you will need to specifically ask to see if there are any arrangements for electric charging and then the arrangement s if someone uses 'your' spot.

Good luck with your quest.
These are significant questions. Eventually the problems will be solved, though perhaps in an unexpected way, such as a new discovery. There were similar problems when homes began to be electrified—where would all that electricity come from? How would it reach houses? There were similar problems as the telephone system had to be developed. And then, consider the decimation of the pay phone complex after cell phones became available. The rise of online shopping has decimated shopping centers and required far more delivery vehicles. Working from home has changed the nature of business in offices. Hospitals now use day-surgery whenever possible, and that has certainly changed many things in hospitals. We always find a way to make new things work after a period of chaos that follows the introduction of something new. We adjust.
