And by focusing so much on DC fast charging built up and effectively not at all on getting slow charging at apartment buildings and workplaces, we are setting up a whole class of folks to not understand the best ways to use their EVs.
This includes policy makers who could help renters.
It's also setting up a class division of, "people who can use EVs reliably" and "people who won't get an EV because it's difficult to charge it regularly."
I've got a friend in Denver who is definitely in the "I'd have an EV but I rent" camp and my (eventual EV ownership) is one of the reasons I bought my first house too.
I’ve been saying this for a decade, and am so dismayed that such a simple problem that is already 90% solved (electricity is everywhere!) has seen so little headway. Not that I would expect landlords to spontaneously do anything without a money reason, but that’s what govt incentives are for!
Workplace charging is really underrated and totally key in inner and older cities where home charging are hard. It's got the potential to solve a lot of the West's duck curve problem, too, by providing a useful sink instead of a coming overnight problem.
