those who have less infrastructure or are required to travel more have mixed feelings.

Exactly. Up until recently I was driving 160km+ a day for work. Closest fast charge point to my house is a 20mins walk. I would have to charge my car twice a week, and that's just not going to work for me.

Now that my daily commute is a 10mins bus ride from home, I barely need a car at all. My wife uses it twice a week, and every two weeks we take it out for a big shop. It does less travel in 2 months than it used to in a day.

This seems like a case where charging at one's house would make sense. You could easily recharge 160km of range overnight.

It would, but it's street parking only, and uncontrolled. Some days I have to park 5 blocks away. It's also not a great neighborhood, good chance it would be smashed up within a few weeks.
