That’s not the case at all. Everyone has electricity at their home. You can charge basically any electric car from a domestic wal socket and higher power chargers are easily available. Commercial charge points only really need to be used for long distance travel. Most EV owners can do the majority of charging at home.

One confounding factor is parking arrangements. If you have a garage then a wall socket is reasonable, but for many years the only place i could park a car was somewhere on the street, hopefully within 100m of my address. In that situation commercial charge points (hopefully near my employer, if lucky) would be the only reasonable charge point.

I do. But I can't get the car up the stairs. :-(
