    I’m loving your solutions. Do you know what they call covered garages and parking structures with outlets and even your big brain idea of sidewalks with electrical outlets in them? They call those things INFRASTRUCTURE.

      You should be loving the fact that this simple solution exists instead of being a random asshole cynic about it, yeah. The infrastructure is in place already for a lot of people to use this as a solution.

        My dude, the comment at the top of this thread is stating that there isn’t enough infrastructure to support most people buying electric cars. Sure, there’s some infrastructure for some people to be able to charge their cars but its a significant barrier for many and an impediment to widespread adoption, causing a decrease in demand. You know, relevant information regarding the original post.

        “But some people can charge their cars” is irrelevant when so many can’t, because of infrastructure.

        This word has lost all meaning for me. Infrastructure infrastructure

          Ok you win the argument. Some people who live in apartments officially CANNOT charge their cars using a regular level 1 outlet because cantsurf cannot charge his car on the street.

          Let it be known far and wide.

            You’re close, but you’ve still missed. My opinion (and I’m agreeing with the guy at the top of this thread) is that charging an electric car is impractical for such a large proportion of the population that it is slowing down electric vehicle adoption and that mass adoption is unlikely to occur until this infrastructure issue has been addressed.

            And also that I can’t charge my car on the street.

              I didn’t miss your point, I dismissed it as irrelevant to what I was bringing up to the person I was responding to. Not everyone knows what “level 1 charging” means. I wanted to let them know it means a regular outlet. For whomever that applies, I hope they find it helpful. For whomever that does not apply, I hope the infrastructure continues to mature to help meet their needs, as it obviously will despite your cynicism.

                At this point, I’m just curious to know where you live that makes you think that sidewalks have power outlets.
