Comment	While it’s totally doable to have an EV without home charging, home charging is definitely the easiest and best option if it’s available. You basically never need to do anything; your car is already charged with a full (or, 80%) battery every day. No last minute detours to the petrol station en route (something that would be much harder with an EV because even at a rapid it takes a bit longer). So, yeah, comparing using public chargers with public filling stations isn’t like for like really. Still totally possible to have an EV Without home charging but it 100% requires a bit of research and planning.
