Most people miss that most people in the world live in the apartments and not in the private houses. I wouldn't be able to charge EV at home even via 1A usb cable, simply because there is no wiring whatsoever on the parking.

This is crazy to me.

So you have an increased concentration of people and parking, and so there is NO WAY to more efficiently make charging infra for that?

The only way we can do home charging is in geographically semi-sparse suburbia?

Come on. Apartment buildings should be STRONGLY incented by local governments to provide charging infrastructure, even if it is simply regular power outlets not even L2, to apartments.

Urban cities have air quality problems. PHEVs/EVs solve a huge part of air quality. SUBSIDIZE the charging infrastructure. I'm sure the power company will LOVE to take some grants.

		I fully agree. But the actual EU reality (Poland) is that right now, this year, if you will go to the new modern (and really expensive relatively) apartment development and ask about EV parking spots, they will either tell you that nothing is wired, or that there are 1 or 2 spots per whole parking where you can later pay to install charger, which may or may not be already sold. And these spots are more expensive that other regular ones.

		giving money to build shit always works out. I think $6 trillion might be roughly enough for couple of buildings :) https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/05/congress-ev-charger...
