    Condos generally won’t let you have chargers. HOA hate everyone.

    Not everyone can afford the boomer American dream of detached housing.

      You can only try. My ex’s HOA did bring chargers up for a vote, but tabled it when they realized how limited the electrical service for common areas was

      While I don’t know whether it would have passed, it’s a step

      then why buy an electric car when OP knew full well charging was going to be troublesome?

        This is a big argument against EV mandates that several U.S. states have proposed. Where the fuck do people in apartments and condos charge?

        The excuses by EV supporters don’t cut it either.

          Part of the infrastructure funding for EVs was targeted to help landlords and HOAs. Plus my state had landlord incentives similar to those for purchasers. Yes we know those need a kickstart

          The other thing is the timing. None of those mandates were immediate. Most of them were ten years or more, only affecting new cars. So we have a full decade to get chargers in more places and at least another decade where most cars were still ICE: we can do it
