That doesn't seem like a very good deal, though. You have to pay a sizable chunk of cash to improve somebody else's property and insure it for a million dollars. That is a much worse proposition than installing a charger in your house. I'm not sure how useful it is to your average renter who is just looking to buy a car.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoIt’s a happy medium until we can improve on the situation.
- plorkyeran 9y agoInstalling a home charging station costs around $2000 these days. If you're buying a $30-60k car and move infrequently it won't be that huge of a portion of the total cost of ownership of the car.

- davidgould 9y agoSince I had room in the panel for an additional breaker installing a level 2 EVSE (charger) on the driveway side of the house was only $350. I paid $550 for the charger itself. Total cost $900. Offsetting that: - $500 rebate/credit from GM for buying a Chevy Spark EV and a charger. - $500 cash from PG&E - $150 or so federal tax credit - Increased value of my house with EV charger. Overall, I think I made about $500 on this install. Best part, I haven't been to a gas station more than a dozen times in the last four years. I love not going to gas stations.
