If you can’t charge at home, you are not excluded from having an EV. You do need to be smart about it though. To save money you need cheaper chargers, they’re typically slower so you’ll need to be able to leave the car there for hours on end. That means both being able to charge fully without incurring overstay penalties and getting away from the car for as long as it takes. Thus if you can park near work and charge, great, if you can charge overnight then great.
If neither, then you need to have a cheap rapid close and be willing to be there for up to an hour. Ideally, that’d be near somewhere you need to go, shops or hospital for example so you can still plug in and do something else while charging.
