Reply to comment by John_____Doe in NASA invents ‘incredible’ battery for electric planes by HaikuKnives

This is the one thing keeping me from getting an electric vehicle. There is exactly a 0% chance my apartment will put in a charger so I'm stuck for now

The worst part is they just need a couple dedicated normal outlets in the parking section. Most people would be fine charging their car off a tradional 13A outlet. 1.5-2 kWh would result in 6-8 kWh over night. And at an avr of 0.2kwh per km we get between 6-8km/h so over night that should be 30-50km which is much more than the average city travel.

I know plenty of people who have an electric car in nyc. Apartments don’t have them there. They charge when they go grocery shopping or travel. I do realize that we don’t drive as much as most people though so that might not be realistic for everyone.
