The 2 Air BnB apartments I have stayed at in LA had dozens of EV chargers in their parking garages. Way more than EVs plugged into them.

New York State also has an active program of support and subsidies for business owners and landlords to install charging points, as well as local government. I have not dug in--but the verbiage says "large portion or sometimes all" costs will be covered by subsidies. https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/All-Progr...ation-Programs |

That's very nice and the stuff of political sound bites...12 years...how many administrations? I get a kick out of these. Colorado says they want to be 100% renewable electric in 15 years or so...looks and sounds good but......

I could probably go with ZERO car of any kind but why would I? I could walk those 6 blocks to the grocery, and carry 3-4 bags back, when it's 3 degrees outside, like it was yesterday, and then do it again... I could probably get to my grand daughter's house to nanny w/o a car...be tough to get them to softball practice but with enough time and $, I could do that but...why would I? I could make due with an EV but it would be......harder, more time consuming, less convenient, way more expensive... The question isn't if it's possible or not but how to make EVs as convenient, easy as an ICE. Quote:

You’ve stated many times that you’re good with your Accord hybrid. So keep driving it! EVs aren’t for you. This discussion is aimed at those who are interested, not to try to convince others who aren’t. |

I’m pretty sure the ban of ICE in California will move up the courts and maybe end up in the Supreme Court. Does the governor have that much power to implement a ban? In California, a car is needed outside of urban areas and most people can’t afford EV’s. Grabbing my popcorn to see how this plays out

I reckon most people here are in this situation. Having a car is a luxury. Having a parking garage spot is a super duper luxury. There's not many parking garages I've seen here with assigned spots either. My gf and I would love to get an EV, which would be a lovely upgrade for our 20 yr old truck, as 95% of our weekend driving is to Northern NJ & lower Hudson Valley for trail running & biking... so we aren't worried about range. The entry price is just too steep. But even if we were to stretch a bit and get an EV, we'd be screwed on the weekdays (opposite side parking) and charging end of things, since we couldn't swing a dedicated garage with charge port. |

If only a 40A breaker is needed for charger, it's no more difficult to install than a large air conditioning unit, but in areas that already have brown outs, it's like every EV owner now has a second AC unit running all night. That's got to cause grid problems.
I have natural gas furnace and water heater, but those are now considered evil devices that are causing global warming. My rural electric company has incentives to change to a heat pump and electric water heater. |
