Range anxiety is overblown. Electric vehicle owners only use 13 percent of their battery capacity a day, on average. (insideevs.com)

I'd advise you to get the type 2 home charger anyway. Even if your expected mileage is very low.

The savings of not getting one aren't worth the hassle of having to charge slowly constantly, and being depended on that slow charge.

A proper charger will enable you to take spontaneous drives more often. It could allow you to take advantage of cheap hourly rates (if that's an option). It removes the dependence on public chargers. It'll be fast enough for two cars if you eventually need that in case one of you gets a new job or you have family visiting etc.

So, sure, you don't neeeeed it, but it's easier in all of those situations that are just a little outside the ordinary and optimized commuting schedule.
