Does your situation not allow a plugin ev? You don’t need to rely on a charging station. There’s a good video about people’s “range anxiety” and breaks down why home charging is adequate for nearly everyone

I had thought about it when i was thinking of getting an EV prior. The answer is “yes”, technically, but I don’t find it cost effective to do so. I don’t own the building, or pay power utility, its bundled in my rent, and whatever power solution I installed would need to run roughly 150-200 ft feet across a lawn and part of an active driveway to get to my designated parking area(I had considered over or under but that also adds cost). Said parking area has already been designated as non-negotiable as the closer parking is strictly for the landlord’s wife who has mobility issues. On top of that I have been instructed to not put a constant load on the outdoor outlet, it according to them has high wear on it and they are worried about the risk of putting something constant on it because it used to run as an input for a generator that ran higher than what the line was actually rated for(old building, was before the requirement of a bypass switch) and almost burned it out, so any solution would be either rewiring the outdoor outlet line from the fusebox on, or installing a dedicated charger line for it and then running it across prior distance. (which I had at one point thought about)
technically possible, but I don’t think it’s cost effective to do something like that, especially considering even if given permission, it’s for a property I don’t own and don’t know how long I would be living here.
