I was watching this person’s videos on the matter. And was wondering what your experience has been with EVs and your opinion on the different connectors?

    But most people will charge at home 99% of the time.

    Only about 65% of American households are owners.

    I would charge at home if I could but since I rent and therefore can’t I pay 4x market rate for the electricity and have to take hours out of my day to do so.

      The video addresses this. But they basically address it in a focus on what needs to change.

      Regardless, not owning your home doesn’t prevent you from charging using a wall socket. More important is accessibility (whether you can get your car and your electricity to the same place), which can be a problem whether you own or not.

      But there’s huge opportunity for things like charging at work, if only we embraced it.

        I rent an apartment and the inability to park the car inside my apartment prevents me from charging using a wall socket.
