Even if a short-range car would be fine for your daily commute (and you have a second car or some other method for making longer trips), there's another issue to consider: If you have to charge your car every night in order to get to the work in the morning, then you need to be guaranteed a parking spot with a charger, but in densely packed areas where short commutes are common, shitting parking is common as well. That means a lot of places would need to improve their parking situation in addition to providing reliable charging infrastructure, and that's going to take a lot of money and effort.
