3 things.
1. When the gasoline powered car came to be, the government did not build gas stations. People looking to make a buck built the infrastructure as demanded by the market.
2. The government can not build and maintain charging stations like the private sector can.
3. Knowing #1 and #2, it can only be assumed, in the near future you will have to pay for the charging service at a private "Energy" station negating any savings you thought you would get buying an EV.

Yeah that's why they're hiring private companies to build them...

Dude do you live under a fricking rock? That's how things currently are. They aren't going to let you charge your EV for free. You pay a private company to use their charging resources. The savings come from the fact that it's cheaper to charge your car than it is to fuel it up.

This is a really good point. The general thought is higher gasoline prices makes EVs more competitive, but electricity isn't free. It doesn't come from unicorn farts, and increased demand for electricity will lead to increases in what will be charged.
