And you need a safe place to charge it. Like a garage. I can't afford a house so why would I buy a Nissan leaf (any cheap ev)? I can't just run an extention cord out an open window. I also can't just leave a wireless ground pad charger plugged in unattended outside. It's all linked, nothing happens in a bubble.
With decent range, you can charge once or twice a week at a fast charger (while doing groceries or posting video games) or there are public chargers every couple of blocks. No need for a home charger (though it's definitely more convenient).
You've never left the city, have you?
When you leave the city, you have your own driveway with your own charger
Your worldview is so narrow I don't think you could thread a piece of fishing line through it.
