I live in the city. There are a fair amount of chargers, but not enough (and probably never will be). So 'enough', for me, is when it can compete with a regular ICE car: Charge it for about 5-10 minutes, and then not have to worry about it again for at least a couple of weeks. We're almost there, but not quite.
I understand the concern but as an owner its been less stressful than I feared it could be.
Even better though is the office parking lot.
This is why I will switch to EV at some point.
Fast charging stations are unreliable and expensive, and with all the new EVs out there, harder to find open spots in general.
Hopefully the industrial revolution lifestyle will slowly fade over time :)
So you would rather have engineers solve the impossible, and then have 2,000,000 cars carry around additional 300kg of batteries?
How about getting city officials and landlord to do their actual job they are getting paid for?
And don't go 'oh no i have curbside parking' on. Me - you have millioms of lampposts in every city, don't you? They are already connected to power, is it too much to ask for all of them to be equiped with sockets?
What do you think makes more sense, forcing all cars to spend extra £7,000 and 300 kg of rare materials on extra battery capacity they shouldn't need, and then replacing those batteries every 15 years as they and cars are replaced?
Or picking up a shovel and upgrading some cable that will serve for 100 years?
Like these folks are doing? https://www.ubitricity.com/
That might involve pulling more wiring through conduits, or even raising the voltage on existing wiring and placing transformers, all of which can be done.
My comment was only on whether you could charge many cars without any of that.
Then you probably don't need a car, unless you have special needs or your city is some car-centric shithole (like, sadly, most cities outside the Netherlands are to a point, even in Europe, which often gets praise from US bike/public transport advocates).
