    This needs to be handled with a federal mandate probably. There should be a minimum (which should increase over time) percentage of charging outlets available per apartment available to rent. It is a huge issue apartment dwellers are being ignored here.

      Agreed. I unfortunately don’t trust apartments to bear that burden unless they’re told to. And even then, the “lamppost” answer the other guy gave very much feels like a handwaved, non-answer. It’s a tricky problem to solve outside of just putting charging stations literally everywhere I feel.

      What about apartments where they are in a dense environment? That’d be a complete waste. Should be a locale law at most.

      We should be incentivizing more than just ev cars- like maybe less cars in general.

        Sure, I guess ports per parking space would be better. Make sure there’s at least some percentage of parking that’s available to charge EVs. If your complex doesn’t provide parking then it’s not required.

        Making it local only allows for perverse incentives to screw over people in areas where landowners have more control (which is most places).
