A ton of people live in flats, apartments, condos and other shared housing that do not provide home charging capabilities. Just because it’s not a big deal for you and your situation doesn’t mean it’s the same for everyone else.

I agree,and this is why I really wish the EV charger rollout focused on L2 chargers rather than L3.

Incentivizing workplaces, grocery stores, malls, and apartment complexes to install slow chargers would make a huge impact on feasibility.

All for a lot less money than it takes to install L3 chargers.

Wouldn't grocery stores want bigger chargers, so someone with an apartment can combine a grocery run that takes maybe 30 minutes inside the store with fully charging their car for the next few days?

With an L2 charger it doesn't take days to fully charge. It is more like 8 hours when going from 0 to 100.

But that's not necessary. You just need to recover enough charge to cover daily driving. In 30 minutes that can equate to adding 20 miles of range.

With EVs you are rarely trying to charge from 0 to 100. A slow charge is sufficient and preferable for battery health.

And people who rent a house and can’t install the necessary equipment.

Superchargers.

But a LOT of US apartments have mass parking or even a parking garage. These should be PERFECT for cheap efficient rollout of a charging infrastructure.

I've been pretty disappointed that cities or the federal government have not been proactive in providing incentives to apartment buildings to put in charging, even just normal 110v or 220v plugs.

Urban centers have not completely won the car pollution war, incentivising EV ownership in cities should be a paramount concern in infrastructure planning.

Street parking should be able to provide 110v charging as well. I mean, there are street lamps, right?
