One issue could be that you need somewhere to charge it. A lot of properties (particularly in the UK) don't have off-street parking and you need to park on the road. So even if you own the building you can't install a useful charging point.
However, there's a Tesla Model S and a couple of Nissan Leaf EVs parked on a road near me and they must be getting charged somewhere. Perhaps at work?
- jsingleton 10y agoThinking about this a bit more, there's an interesting startup opportunity in matching the supply and demand of charging points. Some sort of sharing economy marketplace for renting out your parking spot that has an EV charging point.
- tzs 10y agoHow about a subscription charge delivery service? A Chevy Spark on a fast charger reaches 80% in about 20 minutes. A Nissan Leaf is about half an hour. You subscribe and the service sends a truck every night with a fast charger powered by a big battery bank to your street and charges your car for you while you sleep.
