Doesn’t hurt to have multiple brands of fuel/charging like ICE.

Agree, there needs to be some accommodation ultimately for inner city dwellers for global BEV acceptance and adaptation. But frankly, if you live in downtown DC or Chicago and you have no charging option but public charging, at this stage you need to find another mode of personal transportation. For one thing it would likely be close to the cost of owning and running an ICE vehicle, and not as convenient. For another (having lived and worked in DC), public transportation is awesome, and I wouldn't think of driving just about anything but a broken-down junker in the middle of the city, ever. Later, BEVs for all, yes. But fix the great, empty, middle of the country first (and even N to S coastal routes). That's where people journey 1,000 miles to see Gramma.
