It depends on how you define convenience. Since the vast majority of my (and most others') driving is local, I charge my i3 every night from a plain old 120V wall outlet. I have a "full tank" every morning. I travel long distance very seldom, and if 30 minute charges won't fit my future desire for convenience then I grab a gas-powered rental. But I'm still quite content with how my needs are met with my electric.
