The "being able to charge at home" is why I recently purchased an petrol powered Subaru.

But every online comment and guide telling people to simply install a charger in their driveway assumes a certain amount of privilege, and I feel a lot of this discussion just assumes everyone has that privilege. I'm currently living in an apartment, my underground car park has no power runs anywhere near my car. Before that I lived in a rented house, and getting permission to install anything that required drilling a single hole would have been a non starter.

this is more of a problem with the power of landlords and bad regulations for the average person. in europe in a lot of countries renters have the right to make changes and in some even the right to have EV chargers installed
