I now know a few people who own an EV without the ability to charge at home.

For what I hear that is a non issue. Most of them need to charge 1-2 times a week and do that during their grocery shopping or sport activity at public charge points. Non of them complained about that even during longer trips.

So if the infrastructure is there (it is where I live) this doesn't really seem like a big issue if you drive ~50km/day with current gen models.

I agree most people don't care about carbon emission. EVs (even mid-range ones) are fun, powerful and silent cars.
