Reply to comment by Upstairs-Wheel-8995 in 2023 tax credits for EVs will boost their appeal by PhantomWizard2099

Yeah Chevy Bolt would be great but if I dangle a cord from my 2nd floor apartment to change it, it's a lease violation.

Push your apartment's managing company to install a charging spot or two. A couple managed to get chargers installed in my apartment complex's parking area. If there are enough EVs, they'll likely make money off the charger, too.

Or just charge a few times a week. If you live in an apartment and have a super long commute, what’s the point?

That's the thing - my commute is ~3 miles. An electric car would be great - I just have no way to charge one at work or at home.

With most modern EVs you could cover that sort of usage by charging your car for 20 minutes once a month at a fast charger. Plug in, reply to a few emails or get on social media for 15 minutes and be on your way.
