Nah, it's a big deal to not have charging where you park overnight.
A huge part of EV ownership is the minimal thought put into keep track of how full the car is. You drive, you come home, you plug in, you drive later, etc. No worries at all, no effort.
If you don't have that convenience, you're always going to have a bug nagging you "should I go charge?" and it'll wear at you.
Street parking with chargers on light poles, load balancing so they don't pop the circuit? Win. Chargers saturating common area parking that bills you for power you draw? Making people go charge their car at some central location for 45 minutes once or twice a week? Total fiasco.
I get by fine on a 20a/16a 240v (nema 6-20 plug) in the relatively mild new england winters and can drive my car just like a normal car 98% of the time.
