An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

Unless you take road trips often having a place to charge is literally any random Outlet. You don’t need a fancy dedicated fast charger if you drive less than 100 miles in a day. Think about how many hours your car is just sitting at home, it has that many hours to charge it doesn’t matter if it charges in 1 and 1/2 hours or 9 hours as long as it gets charged
So even as a renter as long as you have any kind of outdoor outlet or garage you’ve got somewhere to charge
I’m not who you replied to, but you are assuming a lot of the living situations for millions and millions of people. I live in a building built in the 40s and only have street parking. I do have a pretty damn good public transit system at my disposal, though. That’s within reach for my short travel needs today.
When I rented I only had street parking. In that situation an electric car is just another thing to manage. If you’ve got a garage to park in, sure, even with a basic 220V outlet.
