    I’d get an electric car if I could charge it easily. Right now EV ownership is coupled to home ownership and mass adoption will never happen while this is the case.

    If my apartment complex installed EV chargers in our parking lot, I’d be a lot more willing to get one. I ain’t spending 8 hours a day twiddling my thumbs in a grocery store parking lot just to drive between work and home.

      What are you talking about? New electric vehicles today can fast charge to 80% in 20 minutes or less. For the amount of driving that most people do, that’s more than enough. You’d likely be able to go a few days between charges, and you’re probably going to the grocery store anyways in that time. This is a poor excuse not to get an electric vehicle.
