Most people charge EVs at home most of the time.

No. And it's not the number of charging stations, it's the general shittiness of those. You never know how much you will pay per kWh, there are apps, networks, roaming agreements, cards, getting through this mess and starting to charge is always a challenge and takes a significant time (sometimes comparable to charging time!). You also get gouged on pricing, companies clearly set it so that the cost of 100km is comparable to that of a gas-powered vehicle. And for some reason people think EVs can only charge by backing into a stall, never in a drive-through bay like gasoline vehicles.
I own an EV and enjoy it a lot. I would not even consider buying a gas vehicle again. But while charging at home is great, charging during a trip is annoying. This needs regulation.

The supply of 10+ year old EVs is rather limited, so that is not a very surprising fact.

At least here in Norway it has, it seems like it's not very difficult to put some cables in the ground and install a big pre built metal box :)
Most gas stations have them and there is also a lot of street charging stations.
But it's still cheapest to charge at home.
