Doesn't this assume that everyone owns a house? How do you propose to do this in an apartment building? Sometimes you don't even have enough parking for an apartment building and need to park elsewhere. That sounds to me like charging would be rather difficult at home. We're also not talking about an insignificant amount of people - 42% of Europeans live in an apartment. In some countries it's over 60%.[0]

- adrianN 7y agoOnce more people have electric cars there will be more curbside chargers.
- Mirioron 7y agoHow well do those hold up to the cold and poor handling? We don't want them just in the US, right? Ideally we'd want countries like Russia and Ukraine and even poorer countries to use electric cars too.
- lolc 7y agoApartments often come with parking spaces. They will need to be fitted with charging sockets but I don't see any difficulties beyond the small investment this takes.
- Mirioron 7y agoOften, but not always. In my city most apartment buildings don't even have enough normal parking spaces for the cars. People park in places like the parking lots of supermarkets.
