But I need to stop and use a gas nozzle every other week or so, meanwhile I use a public charger maybe once a quarter if even that.

I spend way more time waiting on a gas pump than I do waiting on a public EV charger, and I do way more miles on my EV.

Exactly!

I am always confused when i see electric car review and reviewer says "you have nice big front trunk to store your charging cables." My cables are hanging on wall of my garage darling! Why the heck do i need to transport them ? XD

So you don’t have to buy a new set of cables when you forget to bring them on a long trip?

I have the cables that came with the car and I have a different EVSE on my wall, but otherwise I've never had to buy cables.

Some places in the world expect you to bring your own cable to use the charger, but in the US public chargers have cables.

That said, I do keep the included charging cable in it's special spot under the trunk area. I've used it once out on the go, but wasn't really needed.
