Basically because I don't want to.
I've made compromises with modding the car and how I drive (limited range with alt delete, full grill block makes coolant fan turn on on longer than normal trip, etc). I don't want more compromises, I want this to be easy and not an inconvenience. I want to plug in one thing for the night and be done. I also don't think its that difficult to do, so its not going to be a hangup.

Further, how big is your charger? With a 10 amp charger, under short trips, an hour of charging should do it.

The charger is 7A. I haven't measured to see how long its in operation before it gets my battery recharged. The time will vary depending on how much electronics are used obviously. In winter the usage will be much higher since I have to use headlights on my morning and afternoon commute.
