It honestly makes more sense to have an “EV charge station” mandate. If people have access to chargers, the car purchases will follow. Currently I have no reason to buy an EV because I live in a rental (unable to install a charger) with the only nearby public charger being a Tesla supercharger (and I refuse to give that creep any of my money). So if I bought an EV, where would I charge it?
Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to make the switch, but having to rely on problematic public chargers that are not nearby or potentially nonfunctional makes it a dealbreaker.
I can’t afford a $30k car
If the government expects me to purchase an EV they need to give me the money that costs, becauae the economy they are providing does not allow me to afford it.
You do not even have access to a wall outlet?
Most people have short enough commutes that an overnight charge on a regular 120 volt socket will get them through the day.
My rental prohibits the connection of EV’s to the standard outlets due to fears of fire.
It’s pretty uncommon for parking garages to have outlets at every parking spot. Even if they don’t live in a highrise, low-rise rentals don’t usually have an outlet for every parking spot unless it’s a region that needs block heaters in the winter.
