I have an expensive American electric car and use it in Europe.
Before buying it I was worried about all the things you mention.
Now that I have been using it for some time normal cars look crazy outdated to me. Going to some place(gas stations) just to fill the tank. Why? It should be in my home, like with my electric car.
Lots of European houses have natural gas installations on homes, so why can't we just plug our vehicles to that, like we do with electric.
In any western country there are electric cables everywhere since 100 years ago or so, and most are not used at night, so it is not a big deal.
Impossible to take a charging cable at night? In the UK?.
I routinely use my car in Spain and Portugal, with no significant problems.
The only problem is that we attract significant attention everywhere we go.

I used to live in a terraced house, and sometime I would park right in front of my door and sometime I would have to park 100m away. In any case, if I ran a cable from my door to my car I'm sure it would get cut sooner or later, just like wing mirrors get broken every now and then. If you live in the 4th floor of a condo, how do you connect then? And I don't understand what you mean by natural gas. Cars that can run on gas use LPG, so you would need to liquify the gas coming for your cooker somehow.
