Why renters? I own but I still wouldn't have any place to charge if i owned an EV...

If you own a house, generally you can do things like install charging points (also backup batteries, solar panels, better insulation, all kinds of fun things) that renters can't.

I'm sure there are some homeowners who can't - maybe listed buildings, or these weird HOA rules I hear about from Americans.

Yes, especially on the 6th floor :)

Well, that's an apartment. We're talking about house owners.

No the OP was talking about owners without qualifiers.

Make EVs chargeable for those who choose to live in the urban jungle and then talk about their merits.

So not the city. Can’t wait till we ban ice vehicles from the suburbs.
