planning on only using public charging points
Uh, I do and so do all the other owners without off street parking.
Get thee and thy driveway to the golf club.

I can't imagine anyone buying a full electric or plug in hybrid and planning on only using public charging points.
My dad wants an electric car but has no off street parking. He plans to buy one when there are public charging points in the street.

the "electric will cost more than petrol soon" seems a strange take. I can't imagine anyone buying a full electric or plug in hybrid and planning on only using public charging points. Home charging is usually around £15 for a full battery, so 200 - 250 miles. Average car like a Ford Fiesta can do around 450 - 500 miles off a full tank, that's 42 litres for about £77. The price of electric would have to go up more than 2.5x from even the high point it is now before it starts being on par with petrol. And that's assuming ~30p/kwh, companies are doing electric car specific tariffs for about 7.5p/kwh, so that would need to go up over 7x to match.
