Most people don't live in houses like in the UK so they can't charge at home overnight.

If there's street parking then there needs to be street charging but nobody has really found a mass solution to that. The cities need to build that but they aren't.

If you don't have a charger at home or at work you're screwed.

Sure, I live in the UK so I know the living arrangements. Not sure what’s warranting the downvotes but my point is that there are lots of people who do have the opportunity to charge at home and save big time with fuel costs but are still convinced they need something that behaves exactly like the thing they have, and for a lot of people it doesn’t have to.

FWIW I didn't downvote you. Just because your experience doesn't match mine.
