This means that most of the parking is first-come-first-serve street parking. For example, it's not uncommon that I need to park several blocks from home if I work late. Charging up every night would be hit and miss.
The majority of people won't drive enough to need a charge every night. I think people in general get too hung up on thinking the battery should be at 100% all the time. It's healthier for the vehicle is the battery sits below maximum charge anyway.

Consider this - if charging plugs become commonplace, you will get enough charging time when you go shopping or run errands that you won't need to charge at home.
