Most importantly. Where the fuck are renters supposed to charge these fucking things?
This is why mass EV adoption is not going to happen. Good luck convincing landlords to install chargers.
I’m not dicking around for 2 hours at a station every week waiting for a charge, let alone multiple times a week.
Certainly something that needs to be addressed by them, or manufacturers will not be able to sell them. They will be punished unless they help with solutions.
I’ve seen several possibilities floated around here, so we have 12 years to build out one or more of them
- landlords with off street parking can be incented or required to provide chargers, by zoning changes. Also at some point they won’t be able to find tenants unless they do
- faster batteries will help reduce the wait time if you visit a supercharger once a week. It seems like we’re already down to half an hour to charge 5%—>80%
- slow chargers at every destination (work, shops, restaurants) can keep you always topped off cheaply and without waiting
- some street parking is conducive to charging, such as with pre-existing streetlight wiring
This is why mass EV adoption is not going to happen. Good luck convincing landlords to install chargers.
If you install a charger, you will get a 25% tax cut for the next 5 years, if not you will get a 25% tax increase for the next 5 years.
Seems pretty convincing to me ;-)
