Re: You are within 50 miles of an EV charging point--so what?
PEV owners normally prefer charge at home, because 15 seconds per trip and cheap refueling is better than a time-consuming diversion to a more expensive public charger. So the answer is that if you own a BEV and you live 25 miles from a rapid charger you would probably use it (1) on the infrequent days you make a trip in that direction that's longer than your range and you just need to top up to make it home (2) during a long outage that you can't ride out with your normal range, or where you don't have an alternative temporary charging arrangement available.
