People keep taking about this as if the solution is difficult or that it will require some massive undertaking to replace existing chargers.

EV adoption is still currently in the single digit %. The number of fast chargers will need to grow at the same rate as ev adoption (more actually to avoid congestion).

Even if they don't replace a single existing charger today with longer cables or NACS plugs, the number of new chargers built to the new standard will soon outnumber today's existing chargers 10:1 at minimum.
