Suburban homes or homes with carports/garages/off street parking can take advantage of at home charging. Apartment dwellers not so much so and will still need to visit a fueling station where the costs go up, fueling and wait times are longer.
I would have no issue buying a EV if the cost to purchase was comparable to ICE, the weight of the vehicle was similar to ICE, the ability to haul stuff was comparable, can be recharged in 5 minutes, and could be towed 4 down. So far I can’t find one.
Re apartments. Where we are public charging is common in apartments and condo complexes.
You think there is enough should a large number of renters / condo owners switch to EV’s?
Pretty much every apartment where I live has a 15 amp circuit available for running block heaters in the winter. Level one takes a long time to fill an EV but, at least in my case, would easily meet my needs. There is a level 2 charger within 1/4 block, too, should I need faster charging.
To be fair I just filled up the car for the first time since July. It was 2023 10 04. I use premium because I don't want the fuel to go sour. All long distance trips are done in the class C. My car, an Elantra from 2013 has 79,000 kilometres on it. It was a demo with 20k on it.
