>90% of the complaints appear to be from folks who have no ability to charge at home.

That's a significant demographic of the car owning population, especially here in Europe. Having your own house with a charger is an extreme rarity.

2/3 of americans have a garage. I suspect the percentage of americans who can afford an EV and have a garage is much higher. A SFH really is the epitome of the American dream to many.
