For anyone interested, I found the thread u/rvajamesriviera was talking about (I think): https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/comments/yleh8r/car_chargers/

Not much in the way of useful advice though. Basically just "run a cord out the window/door," which seems doable, but not ideal. There's gotta be another way!

OK, thanks for the heads up! Any chance you still have the link handy? I tried searching for info along these lines on this sub, but didn't turn up anything that looked promising. Sorry for missing it!

Yeah I could definitely see that happening. I'm envisioning trying to restrict my charging to like, daylight hours when I'm home (I work from home most of the time), which I think would cut down on that sort of interruption, but I definitely agree that's a factor to consider.

Do you know whether there's any ordinance/restriction on the sort of installation/infrastructure I'm describing? I'd obviously expect to pay for it out of pocket, but I'm fairly new to the city and not sure whether that sort of thing would run afoul of aesthetic restrictions or anything.

We have an ICE car but are considering trading it in for either full EV or PHEV. Unfortunately we don't have a driveway or garage, just first-come/first-served street parking curbside outside our rowhouse here in Church Hill. I'm curious whether anybody in this sub has looked into/actually gone through with the process of installing a Level 2 charger outside at the front edge of their property where it meets the sidewalk so that they can charge their EV when they're able to park on the street directly in front of their house? Or other creative ways to get around this problem? From what I've read on this thread and in other research, being able to charge at home is a huge plus given the current state of the charging network in this area, so I'm trying to figure out the most feasible way to do that in my current living situation.
