Infrastructure needs central backing, that's not exactly controversial. Would you rather each individual company has to fund its own chargers and end up with a patchwork that only works for each brand individually (and probably change over time to not support older models). Thats how the railways initially developed in 19th century Britain and it was a horrible mess of privately owned incompatible gauges.

Or maybe the government could take care of it themselves since the private sector can't be bothered.

I'd rather businesses that require government funding to operate to be owned by the government.

Great, so would I. Doesn't change the fact that in the here and now they aren't and we cant wait for a great socialist revolution to start addressing climate change.

It doesn't take a great socialist revolution, and nations won't stop using fossil fuels as long as they remain cheaper than other options.

Other options won't be cheaper until we run out of easily-extractable oil.
