They certainly could be doing more to avoid the association with WW2 uniforms lol

I live in Amsterdam and while we do have a personal parking space, we do not have (nor need) our own charging point. At the end of my short road, there are four public slow-charging points (11/22 kW). There are plans to add 2 more just one road over. Throughout my neighbourhood (all within at most 10 min walking distance) there are probably a few dozen total. We've never had to go farther than the end of the road though. There are many EVs in my neighbourhood.
When we get solar panels, we do intend to install an charging point in our driveway. It's cheaper!
I seriously doubt electric cars will take off in Europe due to the lack of the “charging at home” option for the majority of people with no real resolution in sight.
I realize that the Netherlands is good for some 25% of Europe's public charging infrastructure, but this certainly does not resonate with me at all. Besides, the EU is regulating the construction of new public charging infrastructure (through highway charging and working on local charging).
There was a nice talk at RustNL from the creators about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4vwJIO96Yo
I really love the UX here. It seems super intuitive, definitely much more intuitive than traffic manager mods and stuff like that. Want to add a lane to the side? Just move your cursor to that side of the road. Want to add a crosswalk? Just find the crosswalk asset and place it on the road...
So intuitive!
Isreal's not exactly shooting at folks "within sight" who "just shot at you". They're bombing people from a very comfortable distance.
