Yes, there's a very long way to go although almost everyone I meet that asks about the car seems genuinely interested & positive unlike the negative and misinformed comments below the BBC article.
However suggesting that businesses may offer free charging in a similar vein to wifi was bound to prompt scorn. Wifi is a relatively low cost, fixed monthly outlay but energy usage is neither. It's all very well supermarkets, shopping centres, councils and others doing this during the early adopter phase but that will surely fade as EVs become more mainstream, alongside a need for central government to replace fuel tax revenue.
Having benefited from OLEV, PICG, free local charging, low occupancy superchargers, referrals, very low running costs & other incentives we will probably look back on these first few years as a golden age of EV ownership.
