Your assumption is there is no electricity at home or work, only at charging stations far away.
But, we have electricity anywhere we have a building. In fact, thats the first utility thats hooked up before anything is even built. Now, we can think of charging an EV anytime it is parked. Residential garages have a 240V dryer outlet (or in the laundry room next to garage). That outlet can be used or an additional outlet can be added.
Cars are parked 22 - 23 hours a day. They can charge anytime they are parked.
- gwbas1c 3y ago> Your assumption is there is no electricity at home or work I've driven electric cars for a decade and have two. That is not my assumption at all. My assumption is that most people will consider the car defective if they plug it in, and then it doesn't have a full charge when they come back to it. (Either overnight or at work.) > Residential garages have a 240V dryer outlet Where I live that was a recent code change. I had to install an outlet for my first electric car. When I built my house in 2017, I had to really push on the builder to include an outlet.
