Let me get this straight ...

You buy an electric car but the nearest ‘recharging hub’ is so far away from your house that your new car flatlines before you can get there to recharge ...

Well thats a plan ...

Sounds like a typical Joe problem/crisis ...

Most charging is done at home while the owner sleeps.

Not very straight.
He usually charges near his home, used the Shell charger to write a review.

“For instance, I used 15.4 kWh of power at the Shell hub and was charged £7.56 ($10.13) for it. Had I stayed at home and used the Gridserve rapid charger near my house, I would have paid £4.63 ($6.21) for the same amount of power.”

The five people I know who drive Teslas all have their charging stations in their garage.
