Charging at work can only work if you can drive to work (... and your office has charging points for everyone that wants one)
In most European cities I am familiar with, the very concept of driving into the office is totally alien - no one does it because a) traffic, b) no parking, and c) there is usually a semi-decent public transport system that is usually quicker when you factor in traffic.
Certainly in London, there are some underground/multi-storey parking places you can just drive up to and use, but it is fairly uncommon and always hugely expensive. E.g. nearest one to my office is £38/day ($50) + £11.50 ($15) congestion charge , then it is a 18 minute walk on top of however long it took you to get to the parking (e.g. Google maps suggest 50 minutes for the 5 mile journey for me). Comparable tube journey is about 25 minutes door-to-door and £3.30/$5
Supercharge obviously only works if you own a Tesla.

I think there will be a tipping point, maybe when around 30% vehicles are electric, where people realise there is good money to be made in charging points, and then every big car park will fit them
