I drive to work, I park in the parking lot, 8 hours later I leave work. My car is now fully charged.
I would be utterly devastated.

It's not reliable if it's not grid tied. Your car might be fully charged. It also might not get any charge at all.
Going up thread a bit, I find "and have a fairly small connection to the grid."
Though even without that, so what? The typical commute is not half a battery's worth of kilometres.
And even for the exceptions, you're allowed to have a split between parking spaces labelled "this juice is completely free but slow at the best of times and depends on the weather" and others labelled "this juice costs ¥¥¥/kWh but is backed by that hydro plant and will fill your batteries in 30 minutes".
I mean, parking spaces already get a split between long stay and short stay, it's not like people can't handle ideas like "free and meh vs. pricy and oooh", and likewise with fuel prices: https://www.istockphoto.com/de/foto/zapfsäule-in-usa-zeigt-p...
