But that ignores the significant number of people that live in apartments and have no convenient access to a charger like homeowners do. If EVs are to become dominant, that problem needs to be addressed with a huge increase in EV chargers compared to what is available now
Alot of cities around the world are making lamposts with outlets you can plug in to. This would essentially mean every parking bay can become a 'charging station ’ and we don’t need to waste as much land on the equivalent of gas stations like we do today.
Problem with these chargers is that at least here in the UK it works out more expensive per mile than petrol. This is pretty much the only thing putting me off as I have no ability to use a home charger at my home.
Is it really ? Did you try doing the calculation ?
I got an electric car and everyone who don’t own an EV is telling me the same thing. But when I do the calculation even in expensive charger it’s still cheaper per km compared to an ICE.
However public charger will always be more expensive than a charger at home.
Edit; I’m not in the UK do I don’t know the situation there.
Well, considering you almost always leave home with a full “tank” (charge), you don’t need as many EV stations.

It also satisfies the apartment issue.
