So you're saying that the EV is an essential appliance like a refrigerator or a stove? That would be quite a change in POV from the usual advocacy against individual car ownership at all.
- newnewpdro 8y agoNot quite, but I am suggesting if a rental property facilitates vehicle ownership in the form of parking/garage space, it should include EV charging capabilities to facilitate widespread adoption. Are you saying that since there's an agenda to reduce vehicle ownership altogether we shouldn't reduce barriers to EV ownership? That will only result in more ICE vehicle ownership, which is an absolute disaster from a climate change environmental crisis mode perspective. A significant factor with vehicles is they have a long servicable lifetime. Every year we drag on with people buying ICE vehicles instead of EVs is followed by decades of those additional ICE vehicles burning fossil fuels. Do you think we can achieve accessible alternative transportation solutions sooner than we can get hookups installed in all the already electrified rentals for EVs already available on the market? I don't think so.
