A sticking point, I feel, for EV adoption is this: landlords of high-density housing have never needed to host their own gas stations, since they would be positioned just down the road and very generously in high-population areas. However, EVs need to park at home and sit on a charger overnight if the driver is to have a usable car the next morning. That means that every landlord will need to start installing commensurate charging stations for the car-owning families in their communities.

This is where it's going to hurt the poor and low-income communities. The well-to-do places with gates and security will have no problem setting them up, maintaining them, and keeping them free of vandalism. In affordable housing, you'll see a lot more reluctance. We don't even have bicycle racks here!

Worse, higher-income residents will be more likely to have charging at work while they're working, if anyone works in an office anymore, whilst low-income folks are more likely to work jobs that don't/can't offer charging to all their employees. Ouch.

Even for SFHs, there are wrinkles. For those who can easily install a charger in their garage, great. But how many homeowners don't have/use a garage and park on the street? How far do you want to snake a cable from your breaker box at home?

You really don't have to have a charging station where you live unless you have a tiny range: I have been driving a Tesla Model 3 (Long Range) for a year now, and I just "go fill up" at a super-charger like I used to with a gas car.

BTW: this might even be better for the battery than slower home charging, despite a lot of assumptions people make about how there has to be a trade-off for "super" charging; and like, even if it's bad, it isn't that bad.
