That's actually what I'm getting at. People are used to popping in to a fuel station when the car is running low on fuel, then popping out a couple of minutes later with a full tank. That's not feasible with electric cars, but assuming your house (or wherever you are sleeping, if you aren't at home) has a free charging point, there's nothing stopping you charging the car overnight. I believe with most cars, you can connect to them with an app, so you can check the car while it is charging. Another alternative is provide stuff for people to do while the car is charging. People won't mind waiting a couple of hours if they can go see a film, eat or go shopping. As long as they have time, of course.
