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
Comment on Auto execs are coming clean: EVs aren't working
Pasta4u@lemmy.world 7 months agoIt’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.

No one said they couldn’t do it. It’s just that it isn’t done…so what happens when you buy an ev and move some where woth no charging ? I am in north jersey and I haven’t see a complex here condo or apartment that has outlets anywhere in the parking lot

It’s not that it isn’t done, it’s that EVs have only been on the scene for a few years and infrastructure hasn’t caught up yet. The state of things today doesn’t represent how things have always been in the past or will be in the future. When gasoline cars first came out, we didn’t have gas stations on every corner either, but the folks living in 1910 managed to figure things out. I think we can do the same.
