'Extraordinarily frustrated': Renters can find no place to plug in electric vehicles
Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY - 1h ago
 
All Hillary Schubach wanted to do is something good for the environment.


But after switching to driving a plug-in electric sedan, she quickly realized a new complication of apartment living: access to a charging station.

Schubach’s hardly alone. Even as it appears electric car sales are hitting a tipping point, those living in apartments and condominiums around the nation can find it difficult, expensive or outright impossible to find a way to plug in when they’re at home.

With nearly 1 out of 3 households living in apartments or condominiums, the goal of switching to electric vehicles to fight climate change and save on gas becomes all the more challenging.

That's a shame.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

I'm sure that is not a wrinkle that our current admin hadn't thought of.

As a landlord, it is not my responsibility to provide you with a place to charge your car...at an increase to my cost. Of course I could aways raise the rent to off set this.

I can see where the upscale apartments might do this. But not  the "regular People" apartments that are far more plentiful.
