Is an EV worth it if I can't charge at home?

Short answer
It can be, if reliable workplace or nearby public charging fits your routine — but savings are smaller.
Home charging is the cheapest and most convenient option. Without it, map Level 2 chargers at work, shopping and the gym, and price out local fast charging per kWh.
Run the numbers with real local prices before buying; a plug-in hybrid may suit some drivers better.
