I think we need to be careful about painting with a broad brush here. Because I believe there's a fairly large segment of the total potential EV market, that consists of urban apartment/condo dwellers who would otherwise be inclined to buy an EV, but can't because their apartment/condo parking situations don't allow it.
Your comments work for suburban home owners, but they aren't appropriate for those in urban situations that don't provide adequate infrastructure. Cincy has already commented that this is HIS situation, and he's far from alone.
For various reasons I think that the urbanist condo/apartment dweller and the potential EV driver have quite a bit of philosophical overlap, and yet this potential target segment must be removed from the calculations of total available market for EV purchasers.
Agree 100%.
CD's quotation from some source upthread pointed out as much. EV sales in the US are dominated by those in higher income brackets, who own their homes, majority white, and quite often the BEV is not the only vehicle in the household. As you can probably imagine, I'd say that demographic skews more conservative and would be less likely than "average" to desire an EV.
And the younger, single, apartment-dwelling, less affluent demographic probably skews more liberal and has much higher than "average" to desire an EV, but their living situation doesn't easily allow for charging at home. This screws up both the cost and convenience advantages of an EV, if they're even available to afford them at all, as EVs are generally more expensive than an equivalent ICEV.
I do expect that over the next decade, we'll see more and more apartment/condo facilities building in some sort of EV charging capability just due to demand and to offer competitive "amenities". I think maybe by 2035, having on-site charging might be table stakes for apartment/condo communities to attract people to live there. But it's certainly not in place today IMHO. And even if it's communal charging stations, that's STILL not as convenient as plugging in to the garage in your single family home at the end of the day and not having to unplug, to move your car, or to do anything like that to make the charger avalilble to someone else.
