The way I interpret it, if you don't have a dedicated exclusive access to a parking space, you don't really have at-home charging, because the exclusive access is what gets rid of the need to negotiate with other people for access to the charger.


I expect almost all detached homes to have a driveway, even if they do not have a garage.


Exclusive access is nice, but not necessary.

BEVs used just for city driving need to be charged about once a week, so you just plug in when there's an opportunity. A basic 7kW charger is enough to charge full battery overnight.
