Reply to comment by rubensinclair in How does everyone feel about folks charging their electric vehicle with the power cord on the sidewalk? I want an EV but also want to be a considerate neighbor. Pic is not JC, just an example I found online. by peastu

I have my own charger in my garage… but we were recently doing renovations and I didn’t have access to it for 3 months.

What we did was every 2 weeks or so we went to target and charged while doing some shopping. Both targets around us have L3(DC fast chargers) so it takes 40 minutes to go from 20% to 80% on my car.

My grocery store also has a set that’s opening in a few weeks.

It’s really not that hard if you can incorporate it into things you already need to do (groceries, shopping, mall, etc…)

JC isn’t quite there with the charging infrastructure, but it will be in the next couple years.

I've seen chargers in JC on the side of the street, Central Ave and Ogden Ave in the Heights. Downtown too

There are also chargers in the Newport mall parking garage. But parking itself costs 12$ for 6 hours. (Or day rate of 25$ after that) not sure if there is any kind of validation or discounted rates available. Tons of teslas parked too, think the cars are for car rental company, but the chargers look available to public and mostly empty.
