Id love to have an EV, but I live in an apartment. And management has no intention of spending the money on adding chargers. Even if they added a few, people would just park there with their gas cars. Haven’t seen a car towed here in 2.5 years of living here.

I hope these issues can be addressed. Until then, EV ownership doesnt make sense for a huge portion of the US population.
