I live in an apartment, and none of the parking lots near us have charging spaces…so unfortunately we’re stuck with gas cars until that situation changes.

- coldpie 3y agoGood point! Don't have a great story there right now today, unfortunately. I think the goal will be for most shopping and workplace parking lots to have chargers, so you can charge up while you're out doing other stuff. I've also seen newly built apartment parking lots in my city (Minneapolis/St Paul) often contain a handful of charging spots. We're definitely not there today, but a bunch of money is going into building out the charging networks right now[1], so hopefully that changes very soon.

So during a regular (20-30 min) visit at the supermarket you can easily charge the battery up to 80%. Where I live every town with more than ~1000 inhabitants got at least one AC charging spot operated by the local electricity provider. Charging there may be cumbersome though, because you may need to walk back 5-10 minutes to your apartment and pick up the car a few hours later.
