Charging posts on the streets and in public parkings is becoming more and more common. Also, electricity is 230V so charging at home is quicker than with 110. Perhaps most importantly, since Scandinavia is at 60deg north, we use engine heaters in winter. That means that a lot of parking spaces, such as those outside multi-tenant buildings have a charger post with at least 230V/10A (because at -25C if you don't plug in at night you aren't going to get to work tomorrow). So "plugging in your car" is something we have done for a long time, even with gasoline cars, and even if you don't live in a detached house. |

Still interested in how we are going to make the electrical infrastructure buildout happen in the US. Commercial parking facility owners will respond to market incentives, sure, but I'm not sure that city governments and entrenched landlords will.
