When we first got ours it took over 3 months to get a home charger fitted. We don't drive it heavily (no commuting) and survived fine with a combination of lidl, tesco and streetlight charging.
Lidl had fast charging so an hour left there gave a good fill.
One of the Tescos (not very near) had free charging so worth having while doing a big shop.
Streetlight ones are slow but good for an overnight.
Public charging is much more expensive than home charging - and the faster, the more expensive - worth checking around on zapmap to see what options there are nearby. At our use level it worked fine with an occasional bit of planning ahead needed. If you were wanting to charge every couple of day it would be more of a pain.

That ^^ mirrors my experience with a couple 3-4 month stints of ownership. Use of public chargers was fine given our fairly limited use of the car, and also having cars with reasonable range (Kona and an id3)
I wouldn’t want to be on street charging in London if I was using the car every day though, and needing to charge every couple of days. It’s maybe possible, but it would be very time consuming to manage
A Nissan Leaf on NHS salary sacrifice scheme 3 year inclusive lease with an Ubitricity bollard charger 5 doors down and Lidl rapid charger 500m away.
What could go wrong?
