charging an electric car at a public charger is MUCH more expensive than doing it at home.



Yes I’m aware. And what does that have to do with my comment?

There are probably a non-zero amount of EV owners who solely charge with public chargers. Those owners probably don’t care about cost. They want an EV for the other things they enjoy about it.

Just about 100% of gasoline car owners don’t fill up at home.


"Just about 100% of gasoline car owners don’t fill up at home."

because most people don't have cheap gasoline piped to their houses. Charging a EV at home is much cheaper than gas BUT charging and EV exclusively at commercial charge points is very expensive, almost as expensive as gasoline.
