I'm sure you are right that's the preference of most, but that preference can be overruled.My brain agrees with you. My butt, having spent some time on the cold often old rolling stock of the underground at inhospitable hours in UK's more often than not grim weather greatly prefer the quiet air conditioned interior of an ev parked a few meters from the front door. So far my butt has made the executive decision and I suspect it may be that way with most punters.
The high cost of an EV or the high running costs of an ICE car, road space charges, pollution zone charges, alternate day driving only can all rule out the option of car ownership for many.
