It's not that it isn't done, it's that EVs have only been on the scene for a few years and infrastructure hasn't caught up yet. The state of things today doesn't represent how things have always been in the past or will be in the future. When gasoline cars first came out, we didn't have gas stations on every corner either, but the folks living in 1910 managed to figure things out. I think we can do the same.
Except no one set an insane time limit of when everyone had to switch over from horses to gasoline cars. So infrastructure was bale to grow out along the slow pace of car purchases. But since the 1980s the amount of cars per family have sky rocketed and switching from gasoline to electric isn't something that will happen in a decade
