In support of your point, I would add that here in the US, electricity rates don’t matter to high-density renters — EVs are only relevant to those who rent or own low-density housing.
My apartment complex, built in 2020 on a commercial power grid in a region with many EVs on the road, has 600 units, 10 reserved chargers, and a waitlist of 50. This is an unusually high number of chargers, relative to the single one my previous medium-density housing had. None of an hundred apartment listings has a charger when I search.
High density EVs are inconceivable to cope with given the American power grid and parking zoning laws as they are implemented today, and until changes made by force of law and compulsory upgrades occur, EVs will remain inaccessible to 90% of the US population.
