When will EVs be for them?

  I was being a bit facetious, but I guess when either they're fortunate to live extremely close to a charger, or they have one in building, but then it seems like they'd be fighting for parking and charging space, which doesn't seem to me to compete favorably in terms of practicality. Or the housing market finally crashes and there's a viable path out of renting for those that want to do so.

  When L2 errand charging becomes enough that they can keep up with daily travel by plugging in where they go and park for a while - restaurants, movie theaters, retail stores, doctor and dentist offices, etc.

    I would like to see alternative charging approaches, as well, like inductive charging roads / parking spaces... this seems kind of cool: https://www.michigan.gov/mdot/travel/mobility/initiatives/wireless-charging-roadway https://www.michigan.gov/mdot/travel/mobility/initiatives/wi... That way I wouldn't need to stress over finding a charging place so often.

I dont have a garage, but there are at least 15+ curb side chargers in 250 meters walking distance of my house. No problem charging my Tesla.

  How is the pricing? IME public charges are 2-3x as expensive as charging at home.

    Company car, i don't see the bill, but i think it's about e0.46 - e0.50/kWh.

      Kind of an important detail to leave out of your first post! It's a totally different calculus if you're not paying to charge the EV.

  What about charging at work?

    Yes, there are chargers there as well, i guess around 40 in the parking garage.
