If you're willing to spend an unlimited amount of money, sure. In the Bay Area at anything close to 30% of income? Hell no.

- Swizec 11y agoThe GP's point is that if you care about charging as your highest of priorities, then you can do it. Personally I think that's a silly priority. You don't need to own a car in the city anyway. Unless maybe if you have very small kids that need special car seats. That makes taxiing/carsharing annoying.
- superuser2 11y agoWell in my case (East Bay) I don't need to drive but I like it, and rideshare/public transit for every little errand is taxing and unnecessarily slow.
- Swizec 11y agoI also like driving. But I've realized that while I like driving a car, I hate everything about owning a car. My opinion might change if I didn't live in SoMa, of course.
- Retric 11y agoThat depends on income. If you work retail @ 7/11 then EV's are probably a bad idea, but for 150+K tech worker it's really not a problem. Honestly, owning a regular car in NYC is far more of an issue for most people as a single space can run you 500+$ / month. Though, it can be far cheaper if your willing to park in a less convent location. EX: 1,000$/month and people are recommending it. http://www.parkwhiz.com/p/new-york-parking/105-duane-st/#monthly http://www.parkwhiz.com/p/new-york-parking/105-duane-st/#mon...
