I agree.

That being said though, as battery range increases, the need for home chargers becomes less relevant too. Cars with 1000km range for instance, for most people would only need to find a charger once every 2 weeks or so. And we'll likely see charges in apartment carparks more regularly anyway

We'll likely also eventually see hot swappable batteries become commonplace too (there are already cars out there that do it).

That being said, hopefully the new sodium ion batteries will bring down the costs at least
