many parking spaces actually got converted to charging stations. and when building new parts of the city they could've taken the demand for parking into account.
i agree that there are too many cars in the cities, but actively taking away parking isn't how you solve that problem. that just makes people hate your political party.
solving problems like this requires an actual alternative that is as comfortable as a car to use. then people will willingly give up their cars because there is no need.
How many? We have 160milion parking spaces and 115.000 charging stations, which is 0.07%. Compare this to 2.9% electric Vehicles and think about if it's really to many.
What is a solution that is as comfortable to use as a car? There is none. We also don't have space in cities to add other modes of transportation as long as cars take up most of public space.
But we still need to change our car dominant society to a more climate friendly and space and resource efficient one. And this is only possible if we take away privileges cars enjoyed for the last decades and make driving less attractive than public transit and micromobility.
People are lazy and comfortable, they will never give up cars willingly.
