I'd be curious to see numbers on this. Currently I believe you, although as EV adoption expands and EVs get cheaper I'd expect to see more people who can't charge at home buy them and charge at work/stores. Also I don't have an EV, but if I did charge it equivalently to how I use my gas powered car, 1 trip to where I needed to recharge outside of the house would likely be equivalent to about 80 days of home charging.

Maybe I'm not understanding your point, but here is my math. 80 days * 24 hour/day * 1.4 kW (L1 charging / 12A @ 120V) = 2688 kwh of electrical energy. If your EV has an efficiency of 3.5 miles/kWh, that 2688 kWh would let you drive 9,400 miles. Of course, if you had a 240V @ 40A L2 charger at home, that would be 18,400 kWh, or 64,500 miles (@ 3.5 miles/kWh).
