There's also the problem of people not necessarily having access to
charging sockets at either home _or_ work currently, which would
require a LOT of infrastructure upgrades in order to be provided.

Domestically its a twelve hour charge overnight on cheap rate. Easy
enough for those with garages and well within domestic supply limits.

For regulated car parking, again easy enough to add socket-in-pole
charging meters.

Wring bit of the infrastructure. The problem is having enough power
delivered to the "socket in pole" and domestic equivalent.
Its no worse than a small factory 3 phase supply.
