How many EVs is GM actually selling?
GM's production and "sales" of EVs, including pickup trucks, went up by a large percentage in the 3rd quarter. But they count vehicles as sold when the dealer takes them. The Bolt seems to be sellin...

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.
How little you drive, not sure what that has to do with the topic, but good to hear you’re not burnin too many of those dead dinosaurs I guess…. Also to help you save a buck, premium gas doesn’t last any longer than regular. lol. Premium doesn’t mean more betterer quality. It simply means higher octane. Now if you actually want fuel to last longer, presuming it’s not already alcohol free, then find non ethanol. Or spend the upcharge for premium and use it on a fuel stabilizer which will actually help. Although nothing is needed if you’re only storing the fuel 2-3 months.
Back on topic… again.
Only places that get butt arse cold have many or all even any outside receptacles for random resident use. And even if they did, most places, everyone would walk out to stolen chargers occasionally or regularly, anywhere near a city.
