I'm very sorry to tell you Toyota, but the city of the future will have EVs in it

  Near future? Maybe less than you would think, EVs are still financially unreachable and utterly impractical for most of the world. For me they are easily reachable but I just don't find the appeal, the limitations, range anxiety, everything proprietary and not fixable in normal garages, thats not how I run my cars in relatively low cost manner. Buying car shouldn't be emotional decision but a rational one, its not a small investment, for many second biggest in their lives after housing. Far future, certainly ICE cars will be mostly dead, what will come we shall see.

    Interesting POV! Because batteries plus a motor is so easy, electric bicycles and similar are the vehicle to look at, not cars. I know that in the Philippines, EV carts are slowly taking over on certain islands in places where a car doesn't make any financial sense.

    Having a lot of slow chargers (ac, very cheap to build) around would solve like 90% of the reason most people (not you) give for not being able to switch: Living in an apartment without chargers. I'm certain we can at least agree that leaving out chargers has at least some measurable impact on the transition.

  Ideally the city of the future will have zero cars but that's just me.
