    Maybe right now but that isn’t a difficult problem to solve considering all homes have electricity readily available.

      And how’d you go about it if you’re in an apartment? Lower a few extenders from your window?

        Believe it or not, the electricity also runs outside under the ground.

      It’s an expensive problem to solve. Charging stations aren’t cheap nor is getting an electrician to come out and run wiring and panels for a hundred cars even if it’s just 120 then it eill take 8-12 hours for each car to charge.

      I’ve lived in some places that have giant parking lots for the cars which means they have to dig it up to run wiring and create stations at each spot. That can reduce the amount of cars that can be parked which in some places would benillegal

        I’ve spent time in the Midwest and most residential parking lots already have outlets all over the place for block hearers in the winter. If a tiny apartment complex in North Dakota can do it, so can everyone else.

        Slow charging speeds at home/work are fine, nobody is burning 100% of their range daily on their commute. The people with 200 mile daily commutes are not buying EVs

    Renters can have home charging, too. Just need an outlet.

      For 2-3 miles of range an hour ? www.tesla.com/support/charging

      Also not all renters have access to sockets. The last complex I rented at years ago had zero outlets in thier parking lot.

        A 240v 40A dryer outlet delivers 30mph which is more than plenty

  I love these crazy comparisons you people make. Nobody gives a fuck if they have to stop 2 minutes to refuel. 5 minutes if there is a line. Nobody wants to take an hour long wait for a charge port.

  It’s like none of you have ever traveled for the holidays.

  And if you’re in a European city without off-road parking, at-home refuelling for EVs is shit too.
