17% of the US population lives in either apartments or condos, making the whole "charge at home" thing a little tougher.
So, who will pay for an appropriate number of charging stations at these locations when (and if) the demand for EV's skyrockets?
If they live north of 43 they may have electric services already. We have to be able to plug in block heaters.
If you're speaking of the 43rd parallel, not a lot of the US population currently lives north of it, and I really doubt that we'll ever see a strong migration to that area :C
Also, block heaters have been around a long, long time, and aren't they just 110 or 120v? (asked the Florida boy).
120 is fine for those with a daily commute up to about 80 or 90 kilometres. We did that for years with our first EV. We used the soffit plug meant for Christmas lights. And I suppose one could always pop into a DC fast charger if the.need arose. Roughly half of people with EV’s just use the included charge cord and a 120 volt plug. At least in our neighbourhood. The other half had stove plugs installed in their garage or driveway.
