I park in a parkade with no access to an outlet so my only charging comes from public chargers. 20 mins at the SC fast chargers is more than enough charge per day. Let it charge for 30 mins and I get 2 days commuting to work.
From 9% battery, 45 mins gets me up to 80% at the fast chargers.
Lvl 2 chargers take longer, but again it's not that bad.

They are very happy with it. My friend doesn't just love it, he promotes it to everyone. lol
If people really want it, they will adapt. It's just a matter of whether it works for your lifestyle or not. I don't really do much short "errand" trips often, so I would rely heavily on home charging, but I don't park my car in a garage, lol. I thought about going EV for my wife's car a couple years back, but decided not to pull the trigger on it yet. I didn't like the cars available and figured we can wait until more chargers become more of a norm.
Probably one day, but not yet.
