Don't most people already have a plug in their garage? All mine certainly have. There's no need to get full EVSE for most people, a 2.4kW outlet as found almost everywhere outside North America will easily handle daily driving needs for anyone who's not in a travelling job.

Also if everyone in your neighbourhood turning on a space heater strains the grid you have bigger problems.

Utilities have plenty of ways to solve that. We already have electric water heaters on demand controlled circuits and electricity billing that incentivises off-peak use.

And as for range? 400km is plenty for all but one trip a year, if that's an issue for your use perhaps EVs are not for you.

44 million US households have no garage, including ~2/3 of renters

Sounds like a market opportunity for kerb-side, low speed, charging points.

Not to mention parking garages for daytime parking at work.

Not to mention mall parking lots.

The garage is an obvious starting point, because your car spends a lot of time there, but there are lots of opportunities elsewhere.

Once upon a time 44 million households didn't have electricity. Things change.

Hence the urgent need for charging infrastructure: Incentives to install charges in homes and rental unit garages and at curbsides.

It's a lot more comfortable though. It's been a great addition to the home to get an EVSE, even a small single-phase one.

Good point, most people without garages should continue buying hybrid or ICE, because EVs aren't for them yet.

I dont have a garage, but there are at least 15+ curb side chargers in 250 meters walking distance of my house. No problem charging my Tesla.

[CGMthrowaway]

When will EVs be for them?

[lowdownbutter]

Yes it's so easy - Just tell the butler to put it on charge when you arrive home.

Welcome to Texas.

And with Texas a 200 mile+ driving day is just more common than people from smaller places experience.

[mlinhares]

People can't possibly be driving 200 miles a day, that can't be real.
