Yeah, I definitely didn't mean it as a downside to EVs, just that home charging stations are private facilities, not public ones. The smear campaign to discredit plug-in charging (and its lasting effect on public perception) is one of the most annoying consequences of GM's attempt to get out of the old CARB EV mandate (before they just bought off some politicians or whatever they did to make non-plugin hybrids count as "EVs"). Witness the Prius being sold with "you never have to plug it in haha" as a selling point despite the fact that converting it to a plugin hybrid dramatically increases fuel economy. Gah.
