> What percentage of households can charge at home? Today? Your guess of a bit over half might even be on the optimistic side, considering all the apartment dwellers. But it's going to be very soon, I think, when anybody who owns a car is going to expect to charge it when it's parked in its normal spot at home, even if only at 110v. Yes, of course, landlords will balk at first -- especially the low-rent ones. But, once enough people have EVs, not having a place to charge it is going to mark a place as undesirable as not having cable (etc.) TV...and, soon thereafter, as not having indoor plumbing.... The real challenges are going to be places like San Francisco where everybody parks on the street and nobody even thinks to put a car in the garage. But that city in particular is likely to lead the way in EV adoption, so I'm sure they'll figure it out...and I rather imagine it'll come in the form of overpriced parking meters.... b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
