Governments. Ontario has already funded the construction of 500 new fast charging stations.

The provincial government has also:
1) Announced that electric vehicles will get free electricity overnight
2) Announced the elimination of provincial sales tax from electric car sales

And we're far from the only jurisdiction doing these sorts of things. The trend is happening anyway, but now governments are accelerating it.
