If you don’t have access to a charging station, you can opt to charge at an office building near you. A prime example would be your workplace, but that’s not going to be an option for everyone. Running an appropriate extension cord from your apartment is an option, but it’s not the most permanent or even practical fix. There’s no telling if your current living space even has enough voltage to supply a charge to a car all the time.
Jeff Allen, executive director of Forth, a nonprofit electric vehicle advocacy group, is aware of the problem apartment renters face. It’s not an issue that’s going to be fixed overnight, but an effort is being made. “We have a really large challenge right now with making it easy for people to charge who live in apartments,” he told the Associated Press.
As it stands, an electric car while living in an apartment is a tough sell. Installing an EV station at home can cost over $1,000, but apartment renters likely won’t have that as an option. It’s even tougher if you’re renting in a rural area, because you’re likely not going to find any stations nearby. Charging stations are becoming more common along highways, so the fear of running out of juice on a road trip is eventually going to be a thing of the past. At home, though, charging becomes more difficult.
