As an EV owner with a bit of mileage I can't agree at all, cities are the worst place to own an EV. Modern EV have at least 400km WLTP range (248 miles EPA range) and we typically have to move for much less during the day, BUT we need to charge at home, and in cities most people do not have a place to charge at home. In cities you have often tight spaces, maneuvering an EV is less comfy and an ICE in tight space, and eventual "ADAS" makes it even worse.
At least in the part of the EU I'm living public chargers are spread enough and they are rightly meant for just recharging when you are on a trip longer than the return range, issues are from their mandatory crapplications instead of just accepting a bank card, and having also an incredible price delta depending on the app/card you use (check chargemap.com/map choosing some chargers to see the prices).
The main issue is the absurdly high price of EVs HERE, because in the BRICS cost less than ICEs, the absurdly level of invasive crapware as a service, the absurd level of yearly check, actually a sw update we can do alone, prices. All this, the push toward no ownership and sucking money like a leech push people against EV because they fails to separate the child from the dirty water.
