From what I've seen of EVs currently on the market, level 1 charging (standard 15-amp 120V outlet) adds 2-5 miles of range per hour. For a typical commuter who returns home at 6pm and leaves home at 7am, that allows for 13 hours or 26-65 miles of range charged overnight.

Apparently Americans drive an average of 42 miles a day[0], and I'd wager that EV owners tend to be in higher-density areas with shorter commutes, so that may be enough.

In my personal case, living in a small metro area in a state that's middle of the pack in terms of population density, my ideal would be a small EV for putzing around town (which is conservatively speaking 95% of the occasions that I get behind the wheel), and a larger gasoline car for road trips. Of course, everyone's mileage (heh) will vary.
