While I agree that having a charging point at home is not mandatory, it's much much friendlier,

Even a normal outlet can handle slow charging an EV if you drive less than 100km a day.

Typical EV usage : 18kWh per 100km

Typical "granny" charger : 1800 watts (240v,7 amps)

10 hours at 1800 watts = 18kWh = 100km.

Get home at 6pm, plug in car, car is charged at 4am , leave for work at 7am. Enough spare time there to shift to charging outside peak evening usage at 9pm instead.

Not to be "um actually", but I owned a Nissan Leaf 1st gen over a decade ago, and the pain points you worry about weren't really pain points back then, and there was a loooooooooooot less EV infrastructure in place back then. Less reliable, too.

A couple of years ago I rented an EV with a friend who had zero experience with them. I explained everything, we had no evse at the hotel so needed to use public points, still was no issue at all. Each point we used was about 20% to capacity, they all had places to stretch, eat, etc at. No points were damaged or giving less than maximum output. It was extremely pleasant, and we used about $25 in fuel costs, vs $100+ for gasoline in a comparable vehicle.

I also didn't have an evse installed at home - I used the 110V, 'level 1' charger that plugs into an outlet for my Leaf. I drove a ton - 10k miles in 4 months, so 2.5x the national average. Even with heavy reliance on public points on a network that was in its infancy and prone to downtime, I still got by just fine.

And that was 12 years ago.

it's why we have API showing occupancy in near-real time. It's visible on the car map usually or phone app).

I also coded a little dashboard showing the stations occupancy near me before buying and honestly I saw the same pattern than a classic station (= loaded during home/office travel)

Of course, home is far better... even better if you have solar panels and batteries.

But I wanted to share my experience because I was previously thinking "I need a home charge point to make it viable". Now? Not so much :-)

Seems pretty easy, instead of incentivizing and infrastructure around gasoline, you incentivize electric already. Data centers are already pushing this for their own use, why would it be impossible in your mind to do this for a transition to greener energy usage?
