Most of the time you charge an EV at home or at a level 2 charger nearby. Fast charging is rarely required, except when travelling long distances where it can be a factor, but that’s largely overblown. Also, battery swaps after very rarely required and noisy if there time the battery will last the lifetime of the vehicle.
My point is that you’re cherry picking negative points here while it’s obvious that you have no practical knowledge of the topic. And of course public transport is always a better option, if that is available to you.

I have neither a house, nor I have access to any fast charging station nearby.

That’s not given some battery packs will last long, some won’t. Warranty on batteries is a sketchy thing because it’s difficult to say whether capacity drop is a design flaw or just wear and tear from heavy usage
you have no practical knowledge of the topic
I have as much knowledge as I researched the topic. EV is a big nope for me.
I always find it funny when people go through a lot of contortions to explain why they don’t want an EV. If you don’t want an EV don’t buy one. Nobody cares.
Assuming off street parking, you may still convince your landlord or HOA to install chargers - make a business case for it.
My ex’s HOA just took such a proposal seriously: they got quotes, explained it’s covered by the reserve, and put it up to vote. It did get voted down by the membership, but it’s up to you to convince enough members

What’s the point of writing this comment? Other than because you care about other people’s choice of vehicle?

Yes everyone lives in a single family home that they own.
