Yeah this. I live in Silicon Valley, can't afford a house here (almost nobody can), but have an EV and rely on public charging infrastructure. Most people, and even most EV owners, don't and will never own a single family home here.
It works totally fine, my office has slow charging, the public library a short walk from my apartment has slow charging, and many supermarkets have superchargers or other DC fast charging so I almost never waste time dealing with charging.
- bluGill 3y agoIf you live that dense you should take transit. so the question is why do you not? are letting politicians get away with lip service?
- m463 3y agolol, silicon valley mass transit is a poorly connected mishmash. It has been "getting better" for decades without really getting better. Most of the time "transit" means 4x or more the travel time.
- bluGill 3y agoLike I said, you let politicians get away with lip service.
- dheera 3y agoI love public transit friendly cities, but it is almost nonexistent here. A 20 minute drive can take upwards of 1.5 hours on public transit. And no I don't have the time or resources to fix politicians, I have enough crap to do just trying to make money to live here and take care of myself. Even if I had time it's not like anything I do is going to result in Tokyo-quality public transit being built in the time that I live here.
- hilux 3y agoEh? Being unable to afford a house does not imply living in a dense urban region with usable public transit.
