Re: Charging
If you don't have off-street parking, can't plug in at work and never shop somewhere with chargers, don't buy a sodding Tesla. Or any EV for that matter. In time there will be far more places to charge cars in dense cities. Most cites have multi-level car parks and many of them are putting in EV chargers. Park there and go to the shops in the area to do your shopping. A large number of available EVs have ranges of 200-300 miles. That can be plenty if you drive 30 miles each day to and from work so you don't have to charge every day any more than you would need to put petrol in an ICE car every single day.
Property managers should be salivating with people getting EVs. They can have some parking fitted with charging and collect some extra money from tenants. If the fee isn't too rapacious, it's not a bad deal for the EV owner as they can leave the car to slow charge overnight while they are doing other things such as sleeping. Charging during the day can be cheap and overnight more expensive. People can sign up for a slot and if they need more, they can charge at other places.
If an EV makes sense to own, it makes sense. If you don't have a convenient place to charge, it may not make sense right now. It's like wanting a large dog when you live in a tiny 2 bedroom upstairs flat with a roommate. You may have to wait until you can move for that dog.
