I agree. A friend of mine lives in Arlington, Va and works at the Pentagon. The Metro stop is a block away.
He has an EV that, in the DC metro area works perfectly well.
We met for a meeting north of Baltimore last week and he showed up in a Zipcar. The Zipcar place is a five miles away. He Ubered there then drove to the meeting. He can also park his EV at their lot for free. He uses them or Enterprise when he need long range driving.
He went from three cars (suburban home) to one car without a hitch.
