Depending on the car and budget: It totally is.
At work we have a VW eUP.
Charges at a snail pace (¼ = 60-90ish km at 2-3h).

Yes it's fine most of the time but if we swap it between on-site visits one really has to wait or risk not coming home (and don't get me started on the landmine of charging infrastructure).

German news about the whole infrastructure: https://youtu.be/GQ2hbLzfQ54

TLDW: Close a contract with one provider (e.g. your supplier at home), pay tripple the amount because that charging station is from another provider. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
