Hopefully they will have it so that the EV charging stations included will be under canopies to protect them from the weather, as I know that that is a big problem with current canopy-less implementations.

Gas pumps have had canopies for as long as I can remember. This should be expected.
Indeed it should, though there are many EV charging stations where it isn't the case, especially in America. Tesla's Charging locations are like that, they usually don't have a canopy over the Chargers, which in my opinion doesn't seem like a great practice because it exposes the machines to the elements and make them unpleasant for users when it's raining or snowing.
Okay, but who is building the vast energy grid infrastructure required to move the gargantuan amounts of electricity that will be required once all vehicles make the switch?
I'm all for it, but I don't hear anybody talking about the huge national grid upgrades that will be required, or who's going to pay for it all, or how many years it'll take to get done.
Everyone seems to talk about building more chargers, but not going any further than that.
