..Those who charge from a 3 pin socket wouldn’t be affected but considering that adds 2kWh and hour you can really use it if you drive everyday so would affect a tiny proportion.
It really depends on how much tax they put on electricity for EVs. If the discrepancy between the price from a 3-pin and from a home charger will be very significant, people will make the effort and avoid the home chargers. They'll leave the car connected to the 3-pin 24x7, and only use the home charger for emergencies and quick top-ups when needed.
