I don't think you'd need much more than 10km/hour of charge at home.

It just seems like you'd almost always be net positive even if you're plugged in around 8 hours a day during sleep.

Assuming a ~300-400km total range, I would think the vast majority of use cases would make it so that you would be net positive over a week. I can't imagine too many people driving 100km a day every day.
