How many gas pumps are installed at your apartment? My wife's car (gas) has an effective range of about 300 miles and yet we don't have our own private gas pump. In 20 years, you should be able to get an EV that goes 200+ Miles between fill ups. You'll just have to get your fill up the same place everyone else does... your local filling (charging) station.But ... but ... but ... where will I go to get my Slurpee fix? or buy the gallon of milk I forgot to get at the grocery? Or exchange the propane tank for my grill (unless propane/natural gas also take off as transportation fuel sources).
The thing is, EV isn't going to take off like you (or a lot of other people) think it will. Every time I read or hear something about the growth of the EV market, I always write or call in with a simple question that leaves them stumped. All of their comments and statements are based on the belief that everyone lives in a house with a garage. I live in an apartment complex that was built almost 50 years ago. A dozen buildings built in roughly a square, but on a hillside so there are very few level places. AND NO GARAGES! Just a parking lot, no assigned spaces, first come first parked.
How, by all that is holy, are the two hundred or so people living in my apt. complex going to charge their EVs? And this is only one complex out of many, many apartments in my city. And my city is only one of how many in my state that have a lot of apartment dwellers?
Nope, the ICE is still going to be around and popular for quite a while.
