Only about 65% of American households are owners.
I would charge at home if I could but since I rent and therefore can’t I pay 4x market rate for the electricity and have to take hours out of my day to do so.
The video addresses this. But they basically address it in a focus on what needs to change.
Regardless, not owning your home doesn't prevent you from charging using a wall socket. More important is accessibility (whether you can get your car and your electricity to the same place), which can be a problem whether you own or not.
But there's huge opportunity for things like charging at work, if only we embraced it.
I rent an apartment and the inability to park the car inside my apartment prevents me from charging using a wall socket.
Yes, exactly my point. It wouldn't matter if you owned the apartment, you still wouldn't be able to charge.
Electricity is available almost everywhere, so we need to embrace this to get the most out of electric cars. There's no reason malls couldn't give free charging to people who spend over a certain amount or just generally discounted charging for those shopping there, workplaces could include charging in salary packages, attractions could have free charging while you ride roller coasters. Electric vehicles have the opportunity to be so much more convenient than ICE, if only we'd let it.
