> Basically an EV only makes sense if you own a house and can get your own charger.
New houses in the UK have required chargers as part of planning permission for 5 years. Most people have, or can have, a 3KW socket installed in their driveway, very cheaply (like 2-3 tanks of fuel)
73% of cars in the UK are parked on private property overnight. Most cars do under 8,000 miles a year, or 160 miles a week, 77% of cars passing an MOT in 2019 did under 10,000 miles/year, or 200 miles a week.
At 5 miles per KWh, that's 15mph of charging, or 200 miles in one overnight charge.
