The moment you consider apartments, it does not. There are few if any apartments to get where you can charge your car. This is an area many overlook, but if you don't own a home, you might not have a good place to charge.
This does not fit when the big mantra around EVs has been "charge at home!" instead of "fueling up" at a station. Even now, the DC charge stations aside from Tesla are not fast enough.
- WrtCdEvrydy 7y agoWe priced an electrical charging system for our apartment (2 spots), and the biggest cost was installation with energy coming in at a second (less than 5% of cost)
- dougmwne 7y agoAppartments already provide parking spaces, so what's to stop them from adding some charging hookups? If that's what their customers are looking for, then they will wire it up. Also, I don't see why all the charging has to happen at home. If shopping centers and plazas add more charging, it'll be an extra incentive to go to a particular mall or movie theater. And why not offices too? Try not thinking of getting a charge as going to an isolated gas station and waiting for the tank to fill, and more like stopping off at a nice restaurant and having the car charge up while you eat. It's a paradigm shift, because once we've gone full electric, the filling stations will dissapear and a decent percentage of parking spaces will have a charging meter.
