Jim, You are correct. I did live in an apartment and we had one assigned spot (where I charged my EV truck via a 12 gauge extension cord that I dropped down from our balcony's outdoor 110V outlet) so my wife had to park in the street. Typical situation is that a family has one EV and one long-range car, in our case a hybrid (Prius) so parking that in the street was not a problem. If however the second car would be a plug-in hybrid then it becomes a bit more convoluted, although I always managed to charge well within the overnight time, so it would be possible to charge the plug-in hybrid for a few hours, then swap spaces and charge the EV overnight.

You're making the assumption that most of those apartment dwellers HAVE a parking spot. I've never lived in an apartment, but I know people who often have to park blocks from home because that's the closest parking. For example, the apartment comes with one space and both the husband and wife have a car. Someone is parking on the street...

Almost all those people are apartment dwellers. And I think it's safe to suggest that, before long, it'll be as difficult to find apartment complexes that lack 110 outlets for residents in their already-designated spaces as it is today to find apartment complexes lacking cable (etc.) TV and Internet access. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
