I think you missed my "also".

Anecdotally, I lived in a condo in Atlanta (not traditionally known for its car independence) for 10 years, extremely convenient to the metro or walking a mile to work; it was often that I didn't drive my car for 1-2 weeks at a time and a concern that gas in my vehicle was 2 months old.

In that, very real scenario, I would have required a 200 mile range car to be charged about once a month - or prior to and after a major trip - something that off site handles well + super chargers, and to your and my points, readily available central charging at gas stations.
