I would have bought a plug in electric, but my apartment didn't like the idea of me throwing extension cords out my second story window.
Even with an outlet who wants to slow charge a plug-in EV? The infrastructure isn't there and the cars are too expensive.
They should make batteries that swap out completely so you can load a fully charged one in in a few seconds and let your old one charge while you're off driving somewhere else. Or you just exchange the battery permanently like with some propane tanks.
Nah, more like swappable cells. If Battery energy density was good enough for what you're suggesting, no one would have range anxiety and would be eager to buy EVs. Those batteries are huge.
