Factually, it’s not either. Both are statements of opinion
It is not. Hence “factually”. We know for a fact how far people “usually” drive.
But if you’re like me, you might take a day trip over 100 miles away a handful of times per year. When that happens, I’d arrive home with very little battery left; am I supposed to have the ability to charge for 50 hours?
I just explained this in the comment you replied to.

You explained how it’s doable when you drive 60 miles, which I admit will be most people most days (12 hours of charging at 5 miles per hour charged.) Average EV has 293 miles of range currently; even if you arrived home with 20% battery remaining and you only wanted to recharge to 80%, that’s (at 5 miles per hour charged) over 25 hours. Empty to full is over 58 hours!
At least once every few months we take a day trip to the nearest “big” city, which is 105 miles away. Typically a Sunday. Leave on a full battery, arrive home nearly empty. 8 hours of charging, and I maybe have enough for the next day. I will run a deficit until the weekend.
Again, I’m certainly not saying that a L2 charger is a must for all people, or even most people. But I would not agree that L1 is enough for most people.

Read it again. I said 60 miles the day after driving it to 0%. People don’t “usually” need this.
Thats 176 miles of range. People don’t “usually” need that.
You said all of this already and I already replied to it.
🤔 Wat. Do you think there’s like a L1.5 or something?
There’s the option of a level 1 charger at home, supplemented with an occasional stop at a fast charger.
The L1 charger is not quite enough to keep up with their usage, but their usage isn’t enough to make an L2 absolutely necessary.
Let’s agree to simply not tell people what they do and do not need.
I’m not telling anyone what they need. I’m telling you what people usually need. Which is the topic of the conversation you started.
