Is public charging likely to get cheaper in the near future?

Really want an electric car but sadly have no way of charging from home as my drive is on the opposite side of the street. I could deal with the inconvenience of relying on public chargers but it's harder to justify the inconvenience if I'm not saving much money over an efficient petrol. There are some slower chargers in my area which are like half the price as rapid chargers, around 44p/kwh, so would use them as much as possible, and are at least in areas where I go reasonably often like the cinema, and my local leisure centre is in the process of having a few installed. Inevitably I'll probably have to use rapid chargers on occasion though.

I know it's never going to be as cheap as charging from home but I think it's a barrier that’s keeping many from making the switch as the cost benefits are massively in favour of those lucky enough to have a drive beside their house.
