As much of an EV enthusiast as I am, I tell people that if they can't charge at home, don't get an EV.
I'm in a similar boat, my electricity is I think 11 cents/kWh. $8.25 to completely charge my battery, which will then get me ~250 miles. The cost-per-mile is equivalent to getting over 125 mpg.
I’ve been driving EVs for six years now and I do not have the ability to charge at home or work. It’s been a non-issue. I charge late at night and it’s about $0.18/kWh which is still way less than gas.
Obviously it’s more convenient if you can charge at home or work, but I disagree that such a thing is mandatory to own an EV.
