    No, because a lot of city people live in places where they can’t charge cars, and–at least in Canada where we kiss the boots of landlords–no one’s forcing charging infrastructure multi-unit dwellings.

    Electric cars aren’t for city dwellers, they’re for suburban homeowners.

      Most, if not all, of the new apartment complexes in my area heavily advertise they have EV charging on site. Problem is they usually only install 1 or 2 chargers for a complex that has parking for 50-100 cars. That sort of ratio is fine anywhere else, but it’s not a reliable option if you and your neighbours (who were also sold by that promise) all need to get to work in the morning.

      Yeah, honestly the infrastructure is the most of the problem. Even in crazy cold, battery life drops but doesn’t disappear.
