Sounds like you've had bad luck with shitty vehicles. I usually buy a used car, less than 3 years old, low mileage. That way it's usually still under warranty and you may be able to get an extended warranty. You also bypass the initial depreciation hit of a new car.

Sounds like you're only thinking about the present not the future. As the demand for EVs increase landlords, workplaces etc will become more accommodating. Your building setup doesn't have to stay the same forever. I'm a landlord and installed a 240V outlet so my tenant could charge their EV faster. I got a rebate from the electric company and it's a tax write off so in the end it barely cost me anything. People probably said the same thing when we went from horses to cars without many roads. "Cars will never work, they'll get destroyed driving around." We built paved roads to accommodate cars, we will build infrastructure to accommodate EVs. Everyone doesn't need to own an EV right away, we'll get there eventually.
