I think the home charge stuff is getting more reasonable, but does depend on your current house.
When in the UK the e-Golf could be easily charged over night on standard 240V. So you could drive the range and if staying over night charge and come back. That was an enabler to some journeys. In the US the 110V was next to useless, albeit with a bigger car. I got about 20 miles additional range overnight (battery just over half full at start - this makes a difference). And a cup of tea takes so much longer to make!
