> The vast majority of people charge at home
Another way to read that statistic is "the away from home charging situation is such a hassle that the vast majority of people without chargers at home don't buy EVs".
And the article is about station charging. I think we can all understand that home charging is basically fine.
And that's before the price. Depending on tariffs, home charging is competitive or cheaper than liquid fuel and the motor efficiency is much higher to boot. But charge outside at the "wrong" charger and the price can be up to 10 times higher: around 5-6 times the price of the liquid fuel on a kWh basis, and roughly double the per-mile cost as an ICE.
