Most of the time I just plug in every few days when I get home
That’s literally exactly what I’m talking about. There are a very large, statistically significant number of individuals who do not live in detached, single family homes and cannot put in a charging station at home.
It doesn’t really make sense for those of us without to go sit at a public paid charging station for a couple hours each week when it only takes a few minutes to pump up on gas.
I think it would be different if these charging stations were in places where people spend a decent chunk of time each week, like the grocery store. But they most often are not.
There are quite a lot in supermarket, fast food restaurants etc in my country, but they’re a lot more expensive than home charging. Your point is a good one, and we need more on street chargers where people park overnight.
