    Our infrastructure also needs upgrades to support electric vehicles. For example, you literally can’t get one unless you have a garage or driveway, which many people- especially those who don’t have the luxury of buying a house, don’t have. If your only option is dealing with street parking good luck.

      Not really a requirement to charge at home, many cities have fast chargers at grocery stores so you can charge while you shop. This still needs to be expanded yes, but there are alternatives to home charging. It’s still the best and most convenient option if you have the option though.

      I have a friend in exactly this situation. He just goes to a nearby supercharger every week. It’s not that unreasonable
