Most people can charge at home overnight. According the US census 65% of adults own their own home. Sure infrastructure needs built out for the remaining 35% of renters. However the demand won't be there for a while since most renters are likely younger and/or lower income and not the current target market for EVs.
- sokoloff 5y agoSome of those 65% (condo and rowhouse owners and places where on-street parking is prevalent) will also need some amount of shared/public charging infrastructure.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 5y agoIt's easy to do. There are electric cables everywhere (every street lamp, for example). Also, I'm old enough to remember when one had to pay for wifi at hotels and restaurants. I bet we won't pay for charging a car at some point and/or at some time of the day (plugging your car will help the grid due to the share of renewables, you may even be paid for the service).

- jandrewrogers 5y agoOwning a home does not imply the ability to charge a car. It is common for homeowners to park cars on the street out of necessity.
- natch 5y agoSome apartment renters can charge at home too. Just depends on the setup. But sure some can’t.
