Of course it does. 
 

That has nothing do to with what I said. 
 

the council would install them or private companies.

Good luck getting already cash strapped local authorities to pay for them.

Where are private companies installing chargers on terraced streets?

Not every time, but some may at least every other day. 
 

as for spaces. Let's take the south side of Glasgow. Not every street that contains tenements has allocated parking spaces at the moment. Those that do can't hold as many cars as those that don't have markings. Some flats will have 0 cars, some 1, 2 or maybe more. Where are all these spaces for chargers ? 

Don’t you understand?

Just now at night everyone goes home and parks their car SOMEWHERE.

That SOMEWHERE where ever the fuck it is can have a charger. 
 

And we will never need as many chargers as current spaces.

Just now they do. But the way cars park in streets changes. So one day one side of the street has 100 Cars parks. The next 110, due to car sizes etc (there isn't spaces marked out). 
 

mark out spaces and the available space drops (the wee cars still take up as much space as a bigger one). So this means there is less space available for all these cars...

There is a need. There is money to be made. The council can rent out or sell the rights to the spaces. 
 

 

RF i’m a convert min, but it’s a reach, at the moment at least, to think private companies will just dot a load of chargers round streets to facilitate a shift towards EV’s.

Not to mention if there is no allocated parking on a street, you couldn’t just install a charger outside your house with no guarantee of getting parked near enough to use it.

I’d love to see it, I really would, but it will require a massive shift in how we do things, and at the moment we are nowhere near ready.

Where do those other ten cars park that night then?

They are already installing chargers in lots of places. 
 

Of course it would be communal chargers in communal spaces.

You could certainly do that in new build properties and developments, but much harder to do in existing developments.

Council car parks are introducing chargers, but do you want to leave your car in a public car park overnight and walk home and walk back next day to get it?

don't you understand?! There is the point. It's not always consistent...

 

 

You make 60 charging spaces, rest of the cars park where they like.

1. A little harder still pretty easy. 

2. No you top up your car while there for shopping, work, leisure (possibly automatically through a pre-paid/agreed scheme). You don't need to use one of the aforementioned charging spaces when home.

But if 61 car owners  want to charge their cars, that won't work

Will be quite funny to watch if they try to discontinue petrol and diesel motor vehicles in places like Western Australia, Texas, etc... out here there is a very popular school of thought that anything less than V8 is an admission of homosexuality.

Won’t happen here for at least another generation or two...

There are plans afoot to make 2030 the goal in WA too. Ambitious.

Car ownership as we currently know it will change drastically in the next 10-15years. A car will become  a service.

Youll sign up to your favourite car provider. You won’t own a car as such but will subscribe to a service. Need to go shopping and you’ll tap an app (or whatever it is then) and a self driving car will show up tout suite. Once you get to where you’re going the car will then proceed off to its next ride.

It’s going to fuck up servos, garages, insurance and even the use of the garage in your house.

So will garage convert from being the domicile of junk/shit?

Smart builders are anticipating this now, at least the ones eh ken of round here. Obviously they’re not putting their eggs in one basket, but the garages are being built with convertibility at a future date in mind.

This is bait.
