It's important to remember that you don't need to be near the car during charging. In cities, chargers aren't in desolate locations pretty much by definition. You can leave and do something else while it's charging. Chargers are increasingly common in parking lots of fast food chains and supermarkets.

I've been to a lot of Tesla Superchargers, and in my experience, drivers hardly ever leave their cars at urban/suburban spots. We are unusual in that we usually get out and walk the dog or ourselves a little.

Part of it is that Tesla levies a fee for leaving the car plugged in after it charges, so we can't go too far.
