Rob Hoffmann’s podcast, which we republish as part of our TTAC Content Creator series, raises an interesting point — it’s still hard for apartment and condo dwellers to charge EVs.
I know it’s hard — because I live in a condo in a multi-unit building. A building that banned EV charging a year or two ago.
This lack of easy accessibility to chargers is perhaps holding up EV adoption. Imagine living in a Chicago two-flat and street parking — how do you charge your EV? Even if you have garage access, you probably don’t have a charger, and I bet your landlord isn’t eager to put one in.
Sure, some newer buildings offer a handful of chargers in the parking lot or garage, but it is that enough? Probably not, in most cases.
So, what’s the solution? Mine would be this — figure out a way to get chargers to be as plentiful as gas stations. And as fast, too. No one needs a gas pump at home, right?
Your turn. What’s your solution? Or are you keeping it secret in order to start a business and make a million bucks?
Sound off below.
