Would be hard to fit a petrol station in everybody's home though.
edit - was also thinking that providing extra plug-in points on the side of your property to sell rooftop solar or grid at a premium, as part of a global charger sharing network, is probably going to happen eventually and has a good business plan in there somewhere.
I don't think it is that hard, it just isn't as useful. I have a tank in my basement that holds 300 gallons of heating fuel (basically diesel); and it is pumped to my boiler. Instead of diesel it could easily be gasoline to a car; but why worry about delivery, etc. when there is already a large infrastructure to fuel my car and the marginal benefits are tiny.
Whereas, if I bought an electric car; having the charger would really be a necessity, because having to wait 30-60 minutes for your car to charge is not going to be something that you want to work into your routine.
For a lot of people it is one less thing to work into their routine. For other people it is hassle. Round where I live no houses have driveways or garages, so the only electric vehicles I have been seriously researching have been motorbikes that can fit through the front door and as much as I think electric cars are the future of much of transport, the charging cable problem hasn't yet been seriously addressed for high density urban use yet.
edit - Or fold-up cars. One that can fit in a lift.
In London there are 1300 public charge points so far. I have seen people just running charge cables out of their front window to the kerbside. Garages are not very common in centralish areas. So I think bringing it indoors is pretty extreme.
People who already have a tank in the basement are pretty rare. How much effort/money would it take to install a new tank, plus a car-compatible pump? Compare with a couple hundred bucks for an electrician to install a 240V outlet, and a few hundred more for a charger (if you don't just use the one that comes with your car).
About 10% of the US has oil or propane heat, both of which require a tank. Where I live in the Northeast it is about 30%. I've never had to pay to have a tank installed, but the tank itself costs around $500.
I think if it were actually useful, it might happen. Fleets do it. But its clearly a choice, you can effectively work getting gas into whatever errands you are doing without much of a delay; and it doesn't need to be integrated into the facility you are going to. Having a gas station on the same road as a major shopping center or on the way to work is the norm where I live. Having some limited number of electric chargers at work is not.
