If you drive through older cities in the Northeast you will find that most residents park their cars on the street.

Obviously they will never have “home charging”.

Agreed. And I don't know about local driving in cold winters in an EV. One reason I got an EV as our main car is because the miles per kWh is cheaper than miles per gallon. But part of that math is based on EV's working way more efficiently in warm Alabama than in the cold northeast.

It may be that my 16K miles of home charged miles in an EV wouldn't have saved as much in cost per mile (vs a gas car) if I lived up north. Even if the range safely got me where I was going for the day's driving, driving in the cold requires more charging at home than driving in warm weather and may be the difference that makes an EV not worth it unless you drive maybe 20K miles per year.
