The article goes a bit more in-depth than that. For example they show in my home region of metro Vancouver, the wealthy suburbs tend to have much higher rates of EV registrations than the core cities of Vancouver/burnaby/tricities/richmond/surrey or the less-wealthy suburban areas.

This data implies to me that beyond just infrastructure and travel requirements, cost is a major factor, perhaps overwhelmingly so. This too wouldn’t be groundbreaking news but it’s a different narrative to your conclusions here.

those who have less infrastructure or are required to travel more have mixed feelings.

Exactly. Up until recently I was driving 160km+ a day for work. Closest fast charge point to my house is a 20mins walk. I would have to charge my car twice a week, and that's just not going to work for me.

Now that my daily commute is a 10mins bus ride from home, I barely need a car at all. My wife uses it twice a week, and every two weeks we take it out for a big shop. It does less travel in 2 months than it used to in a day.

I can’t imagine that an EV works as well for someone in rural Saskatchewan with a 45 minute drive to the grocery store as well as it does for someone living in Toronto, Montreal. Mechanics who look askance at “the Asian cars” still are out there. Heck it might be a challenge just getting it to the community from an urban center.

I love my EV, and recognize it doesn’t work for everyone just yet (sometimes because of bad reasons that society accepts like “suburbia”).
