Charging an EV is straightforward if you have a home parking spot. However, "According to the 2017 American Housing Survey, 66% of all occupied housing units in the United States had a garage or carport."
For those living in big cities and relying on street parking, EVs are still less practical. I envision a service where you leave your car parked on the street and schedule a mobile charger through an app to come and charge it while you're away.
- Retric 2y agoAdd driveway to garage or carport, but I get your point. Individuals can’t install them, but cities or parking garages can. Level 1 or 2 chargers down a city street makes more sense the more EV adoption increases. Right now only 1% of cars on the road are EV’s, but EV’s and plug in hybrids are 18% of new car sales. Even if adoption stalls we will still build a lot more EV infrastructure, which then makes EV’s more attractive.
