    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.

            Haha. That’s great. That is some great infrastructure, which I hope is built soon, but which currently exists almost nowhere.

              Yeah it would be like putting up giant wooden poles all over the country and wires running between them to somehow service hundreds of millions of individual homes, residences and buildings level impossible to get that kind of thing built. I guess we’ll never see it in our lifetimes. Time for you to fuck off now.

                I never even implied anything like that. Don’t try to straw man me just because you’re saying silly things.

            Just in case you didnt read the article you linked. It says, “Research indicates that one of the main hurdles to EV adoption in the eyes of car buyers is adequate charging infrastructure.”

            Hahaha
