    Please pay for my apartment complex to install charger plugs in our garages then.

    I’m totally onboard with EV’s, I just can’t have one right now.

      If you just have a regular plug in the garage, it works. I thought that I would have to get a special outlet put in, but after plugging in at night for a couple months I realized there was no need. Figure about 5 miles per hour recharge. I have an older used Leaf that was relatively cheap.

        I don’t have any electrical plugs in my garage. The best I can do is commandeering a 60 watt bulb socket with one of those adapters that turns it into a socket. Also, I don’t think the apartment complex is rigged up to charge tenants for the cost of running that bulb and garage door opening either. So they probably would be pissed if I started charging a full EV in there.

          They won’t even notice. Unless you live in an electric supply desert, charging an EV 0-100% is ridiculously cheap.
