Most EV owners charge at home because it's priced as a high end vehicle (some mid-range ones exist - I drive one of the few low-priced ones).
However a sizable portion of the population (35%) live in apartments - which are notoriously against any upgrades.
Without that population EVs will not be "mainstream". It's a chicken/egg problem where you need affordable EV chargers for that population to migrate to EVs and EV density so EV charger build-out can be justified.
Governments typically front this kind of shift (e.g.: 2022 IRA - mild support).
