"Inside a European city" is quite a broad concept. Some people will indeed have parking next to where they live.

Otherwise the next best option is to charge the car at the place they work if they commute by car and their employer offers that.

Other options are to include charging into your mental overhead and use options whenever you are out shopping (larger supermarkets with parking often have charging options), training (parking next to football fields might have charging), use public charging spots but that can be time consuming when your next one is further away.

Source: We own an electric car and charge at home but we recently considered moving to a place without home charging and had to figure out how we would deal with that.
