Exactly. That's the current situation in rural France. Public charging is essential because many people live as Cor describes, in what we'd call townhouses or rowhouses. Some houses have garages, but many don't. Supermarkets and Target-style places often provide free charging. So do municipal buildings. If you're mostly driving locally, that's all you really need. Free is good, but I really long for the day when charging an EV will be just like fueling an ICEV - drive down the main drag comparing the price slates in front of the charging stations, pull into the one with known-clean restrooms and good coffee, pop your credit card into the scanner, and charge up.
