Everyone always forgets about the people who don't own homes.

I rent an apartment in a tiny rural town. I would basically have to visit a charging station every time I planned on driving anywhere, especially with the incredibly poor cold weather range you get with current EV's. So sure, I might save a few bucks on fuel costs, but at a great loss to my personal time, that's just not worth it to me. Maybe one day we'll be there, but it won't be anytime soon.

No. You would basically have to have a charger installed near your apartment.

You just said the same thing with different words...

Now if you mean at my apartment, then no, that won't ever happen. The cost for the landlord to install would then be passed down into the rent and rent is already gotten out of hand. It would make sense if I paid for it myself, but i honestly don't believe the power coming to the building would be adequate to support 10+ charging stations. And I wouldn't be able to take it when i leave, so I would just be out thousands of dollars for nothing

Nope.

Of course it will.

Yes, it would.

That's a solvable problem.

>And I wouldn't be able to take it when i leave

Sure you could.
