    In the U.S. we’re so far from that mark that it’s not a concern unless you own an EV and find yourself in that situation.

    We will adapt as (and if) EVs become the norm. In the meantime, you charge your vehicle much the same way you get gas. At a station.

    At quick charge stations, i.e. gas stations.

    Right now if you have convenient power at your home parking electric cars can make sense. If you don’t have easy home charging, then it’s less convenient

    In an ideal world, cars would be very rare and moist people would take public transport. Hence, no need for everyone to have a personal charging station.

    In the real world, it’s just going to suck until the market figures something out. Maybe it’ll be like cable, when you buy a car you also have to pay for a guy to come install it.

    Infrastructure is the big challenge.

    There are bushels of proposed solutions but none of them really seem well thought out

    It’d be rad if every street had an induction charging lane for slow travel charging. Maybe someday.

    EVs will depreciate to the point that low income people can buy them. Same with how gas cars are now.

    For charging that will require a lot of upgrades on the land lords part. You don’t need to charge all that often, but if they can supply 240 volt outlets to 1/4 the parking spots that would satisfy most peoples needs.

    Few people in my complex with EVs who are also close to the parking area run an extension cable from the patio outlet to their car. But there are superchargers across the street in a strip mall, too.

    If they became the norm, though, I would think many places would outfit themselves with some charging stations. Maybe not 1 per resident, but something.
