I have driven several EVs, and I've had the opportunity in the past to basically use one as the "work" vehicle during the day. But that vehicle was able to be parked at the office, plugged in to a charger (or at least, near one) when not in use.
In apartment life, that's not an option for me. I literally, where my car is parked, do not have the option to plug it in to any kind of charger, including an orange extension cord running out the bedroom window kind of thing. The only chargers available to me would be public ones, which means I'd have to take time out of my day to go find one and like, hang out at Walgreens or something for half an hour every few days, assuming they've got L3 chargers out front.
I would love nothing more, but until there's an outlet somewhere near my parking spot, I'm sort of stuck.
Usually people that don't have charging at home charge while shopping or at work
