>I've lived in apartments most of my life, my guy. Literally every apartment I've lived in has had assigned parking or covered parking.
I've lived in several apartments too and toured many more. The only covered parking any of these apartments had was an upcharge. In most cases the parking was not assigned. You are given a tag and you park anywhere you can.
>Apartment buildings are generally required to have adequate parking for all residents. That's one of the building codes dense housing advocates want relaxed.
Adequate parking yes, assigned parking no. In one apartment I lived at, there were about 5 guest spaces per 100 units. Your guests could have to walk half a mile to get to your apartment.
>Maybe they just gave a plausible-sounding excuse for ending an employee benefit?
This service costs very little, so I'm going to say no. They could have charged money for the service if they really wanted. My employer used to have free charging, but now it is a paid service. EV fires are super bad and toxic, and insurance companies can see through the propaganda because they deal with the true costs of the fires.
>Hydrogen is a lower fire risk than Li batteries? Interesting...
It actually is, because the fire can be extinguished. There are risks associated with hydrogen, as with anything, but hydrogen is just an example. I think we could actually work out how to capture carbon from the atmosphere and convert it into hydrocarbons as well.
>For people in single family homes who already own 2 cars, trading one out for an EV is a no brainer. I'm not describing particularly rich households.
If you own a house and have 2 cars that aren't old or in poor condition, and can afford to do electrical upgrades (which could involve rewiring half the house), you're not particularly poor either. If you want to trade out one of them for an EV because you know you need flexibility, a hybrid (plug-in or otherwise) is the real no-brainer. I'm not buying a hybrid or an EV because I don't consider the technology suitable for my purposes. But you buy what works for you, and don't complain to me when I'm proven right.
