And, of course, you almost certainly wouldn't want the extra expense of one if they were available anyway, because if your car is already at home it's pretty unlikely that you need it charged up again in the next 20 minutes.

I think the main thing electric cars need in order to win, is the ability to recharge anywhere. Slow is fine, but if it can charge during every lunch break and rest stop, that still adds up. I'd rather have a slow charger on every single parking space than a network of superchargers.
