The lack of a garage in the building where I live is what makes me more willing to get a motorcycle, for example.
Sure the one-size-fits-all approach is prone to failure. While someone like me would rely on a motor vehicle mostly for road trips through places where a battery charging spot might be harder to find, and then at least some ICE-powered "range extender" would be highly desirable, others could live with a full-EV as they don't even get too far away from home.

I'm sure in the distant future when a lot of people own EVs the percentage of vehicle fires will be much closer together. It's quite sad when people neglect their vehicles--I wonder how long an EV would last with those owners. You know it will be marketed as requiring less maintenance than a traditional vehicle.
