My house is in the SW and never a problem so far.
There are gazillions of them even in tiny places.

Indeed. We stopped in a tiny village which had literally nothing except a public loo and a charging point.
EV owners tend to be pretty savvy. They are well able research their routes and see that charging is no problem.
Good lord you were blessed! One of my bug bears of France is lack of these!
It’s a pity you don’t do apps. Toilet Finder is invaluable. Maybe that’s the one that will tip you over the edge

But surely it’s more about perception rather than actuality, plus it has suddenly become more complicated and also possibly much more expensive to visit CE (especially if dog owners) . Our house is in on a major tourist route in the Midi and we see far fewer UK plates than a few years ago.
I’ve always found a lot. They are often near the Mairie and are usually well signposted. The small town I live near has several around the town centre.

I probably should clarify I do have apps but only if I can get them direct from the website or APKpure and I’m very selective about them and their permissions. The toilet one sounds fab!!!
We generally live in a small SW town, albeit the second largest in the department at 5700 soul’s, but we have seven public charging points with three more planned for the next month.
Even we are getting two chargers this year and we have about 320 people. The nearest village 2km away has about 900 people and they’ve had several chargers for about four years. There is an initiative though locally to get lots of chargers installed.
Same here - lots of small (300-400 person) communes, but there usually at least one EV charging point at the Mairie.
All the supermarkets down here (Lidl, Aldi, Intermarché, Netto and LeClerc) have multiple EV charging points.
