You are underestimating how countries and towns can drag their feet. I live in Germany, in an apartment, in a large city. There's hardly any public charging infra in a 1km radius (if I discount the supermarket parking lot with ~3 chargers), maybe still zero and not hardly any.

Yes, some of my friends who live in a house with a garage are very happy with their EVs, I'm still calling it absolutely ridiculous without spending extra time driving somewhere, then charging, then driving back (or a folding bike maybe).

How good they are literally does not matter at all if I can't fill it up.
