One of the biggest obstacles to EV adoption is the need for home EV charging. The ability to charge electric vehicles at home is necessary in order for drivers to have the needed range every day without inconvenience, but many homes do not have the infrastructure in place to support this. In the case of apartments and single-family homes without driveways, there’s just no way to get home charging at all. This leaves people depending on public chargers for a charge every few days, making it far less convenient than a gas car.

While transit fanatics will tell us that people should just not own a car, that’s just not realistic in many places that have long depended on cars for transportation. That’s something to work on, but it can’t happen fast enough. So, we need to explore alternatives.
