I would think it would be a very unusual usage profile indeed that required a car to be commuted 500km every day. Surely if one was out and about for that distance on a daily basis one would stop at a supercharger?

A much more realistic usage pattern would be something like 50km per day for 200 days a year for commuting to work, with something like 150 - 250km at weekends. In those cases a 16A supply would be entirely capable of keeping one's EV topped up to maximum without causing problems with overall electricity usage in the home. The supply to a domestic house is perfectly capable of supporting a constant 70A with a max of 100A.

Even if you did need to charge for 10 hours every night then not needing to drive your car from 10PM to 8AM is hardly a big deal, surely? It's not like you have to stand next to an EV supervising it while it charges like you do with an ICE.

20 years ago we didn't have ubiquitous smartphones, autonomous vehicles, quantum computers, 3D printing or CRISPR gene editing. A couple more decades of development should easily crack the EV charging problem.
