At home charging isn't essential for owning an EV. They're just a convenience.
We can argue back and forth, about ubiquity vs mainstream, but ultimately the point I am making is that these definitions are merely opinions.
Who cares if evs are mainstream or not. If you can get at-home charging, speaking from my own experience, owning an EV is awesome. If you have to rely on public charging, it is not as convenient, and requires more effort.
If you are someone who goes to Costco, the PX, or Walmart to get gas, then using public charging is a wash. If you are like me, who uses the nearest gas station, public charging was a bigger pain than filling up a tank.
