IMO EVs work best in medium density urban settings, where people still probably have their own garages or at least private parking spots but aren't likely to need to do 100+mi drives constantly.

Truly high-density urban settings should ideally find transportation solutions without cars.

And stop using streets for car storage, opening them up to people and plants.

Don't you dare get my hopes up for streets lined with trees instead of cars.

Bandaid-ing plants and naively making public spaces often doesn't work in the US. It's a little more work to make spaces where people actually want to be.

Look at the numerous existing city public spaces built into high profile architecture, where basically no one ever hangs out in. (There's a TED talk about this.)

Why would their worth be determined on how many people hang out there? I prefer to see green spaces and am okay appreciating them from a distance, such a in a nearby town with a tree lined main street through town. I don't think it would invoke the same aestetic pleasure with people and litter occupying these spaces.

If people are only getting little glimpses, then even if they think those glimpses look very nice it's not a very good use of space.
