    Except for people who live in apartments, basement suites, student dorms, etc.

    So only people who can afford $1M detached houses and $60k electric vehicles can have personal transportation after 2030 or whatever the cutoff is for ICE vehicles now.

      As someone who lives in an apartment who cannot charge their EV at home, charging at public 6.6/12kw and fast chargers is more than enough to keep my battery filled, sure its like 2~5x more expensive than charging at your own home, but it’s still like 4x cheaper than what I was paying in gas per month comparatively.

        Yeah it can be done for some. Probably wouldn’t work for myself though as I have a 150km commute to work each day so probably would have to sit and recharge at a public station every second day if not more. So 2 hours of commuting turns into 2.5+ hours.

          Yea, its still unfeasible for many people with long drives to work or school- or infrastructure around them which isn’t fast enough or built at all.

          The newest and best offers for sale nowadays could probably suit you- 300mi/480km~ is pretty common nowadays and the Ioniq 5/Ev6 charge back up to near full in about 30~ mins. But those cars are out of reach for anyone out of middle income/higher middle income.
