It's an entirely different paradigm.

With an ICE, you can only fuel up at a gas station, but it is fast (not always though, queues, etc.).

With an EV you charge overnight at home, and only charge on the road as required, and it can be slow (not all that slow though, not a big problem for us). Depending on your usage and vehicle range, you may never need to charge on the road at all.

I wouldn't personally want to own an EV if we couldn't charge at home.

No. This is the reason many still aren’t switching to an EV. Gas cans exist, the same does not exist for an EV. You can fuel up a liquid fuel vehicle anywhere. An EV must be charged at a specific station, be it at home or some other location.
