We have a long way to go before most people can charge an EV at home.
It's not just people living in apartments and condos. A lot of people park on the street and not in a home garage or driveway. There are 23 houses on my block and less than half have a driveway; so, people would have to run extension cords to the street. This is an old neighborhood, laid out over 120 years ago.
If I look at the neighborhood I grew up in, in Arlington, VA, most of which was laid out post-WWII, while almost every house has a driveway, there are still many people parking on the street.
- outworlder 4y agoCities manage to build things like parking meters even in old neighborhoods. It is doable, it's just a matter of priorities. Next time the street needs maintenance, lay some cable.
