>The beautiful part is that once home charging is no longer required, people will be happy to charge at home! We are an adorably irrational species.

The problem isn't that people are unhappy to charge at home now, it's that if and when I need to travel more than 200 miles without stopping at home, I need supporting infrastructure (and planning to find it) or to use another vehicle.



Plus, I live in an apartment block with the under-building garage not having any plug sockets. Unless I drape an extension lead down 5 storeys and about 150m away, I can't see the upgrade path at the moment.

There probably are sockets closer, but it's not as simple as "park and charge", but either "lobby the building management and get sockets installed" or "find a hacky solution with long cables".
