I’m surprised your infrastructure is bad. It’s very good in the Seattle metro area where I live. I thought all major cities had a decent charging network.
Frunk is more of a "why wouldn't I have one", as to transmission tunnel, yes it wouldn't affect me, but another "why should it be there", I'm sure backseat passenger would appreciate.

with regard to charging, I think a lot people park in NYC in garage that's not connect to their building (if in Manhattan, I wouldn't bother street parking in Manhattan, Brooklyn/Queens are different story).

In my case, my garage does have dedicated charge station but it's one of those once you full charge you have to move type of thing. I only drive my car on the weekend (and sometimes once every two weekend), I just can't think of stand there until things are fully charged then move again. My garage is like 8 minuets walking from my apartment too

I know there are a few guys with electric car, probably should talk to them on how they manage it (I see a few Tesla, a few Lucid, one Rivian, two i4 near by).
