I think being able to charge at home is almost a requirement but definitely not necessary in some places. I charge at home maybe twice a month, and there are dozens of chargers within a few minute walk of where I live. Many retail areas have chargers too, so its easy to get a few kwh of charge on a short trip to get groceries or something.

I think there are also a significant number of EV owners who almost exclusively use public DC fast charging. If there are enough fast chargers around, you can treat an EV similarly to an ICE car - drive it til its mostly empty then fill it up.
