> so most people can just charge their EV in their driveway every night.

That does presume that those "most people" have a driveway where they can do charging. I.e., all apartment dwellers with cars in parking lots/garages (excluding those few that may have installed electrical plugs at each parking spot) are cut off, as are city dwellers without driveways who park on the street (or in another garage, again without electric hookups for charging).

Yes, eventually those garages and parking lots will likely include some form of "car charging" infrastructure, but until that happens, "most" is not as big of a percentage as that word makes it appear.

It's probably too much to say everybody can do this, but a lot more can than seem to be included in typical estimates. Tomorrow I will walk to work and probably (if the owner hasn't left by then) I'll pass an EV that's plugged in to presumably an ordinary mains supply... via a hole cut in their fence because their car is sat on the street. I'm sure that sometimes they find somebody else took their prime parking spot, but not often. And of course "run the cable through the hole in my fence and lay down the conduit to protect it" isn't exactly an ideal setup, but it works and the car doesn't care how the electricity got there.

In the city you just take the bus or metro. Did that for 22 years, no issues.
