YMMV, but for me as someone who can't charge at home, the options are:
* Charge at work (1-3kW so not always enough to fill battery, and chargers need to be shared some days... But my commute isn't long enough that I'd need a full charge every day)
* While shopping at the grocery store (some by me have free charging, especially if you shop at non-peak times)
* There's a few chargers attached to lampposts on my street. $2/hr at 7kW, so cheaper for me than gas. Sometimes these are ICE'd out, but parking enforcement in my city recently got the ability to enforce EV-only parking spots
* Public library (free). There used to be some issues with vagrants but less so since the library got a security guard
* Movie theater
* Mall (the problem is that these are 350kW chargers, so the car is probably full too quickly to do any shopping)
* Most of my long drives are to visit family, so they usually have a 120v plug I can use. If you're in a place where the standard voltage is higher, this is even more viable. And there's plenty of 350kW chargers along the freeways.

- Rebelgecko 3y agoNot really. Unlike a gas station, those are mostly places I'd be going anyways. And even thought it takes longer, I can be doing other stuff (like my job) while charging
