- i rent. i'm not a disinterested party. there's no actual plan other than "force landlords to install chargers" hand waving afaict -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 13, 09:42 10
  - Requiring charging options at rental units should be a big part of it. -- nm - TWuG Nov 13, 10:07 8
    - have you met landlords? -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 13, 10:20 7
      - Fucking landlords. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 13:24
      - The thing is that unless you have one per apartment, how do you figure out who pays? Dedicated parking spaces with EV chargers? I guess. - Kellyanne Scrabblestats Nov 13, 10:39 1
        
        In CA parking is not always included, you pay extra in many places, remember when Cable started installing, landlords were reluctant at 1st -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 13, 10:59

        here, they just don't build anything but luxury complexes -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 13, 10:54
  - And "the markets will take care of themselves" hand-waving overall. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 13, 10:07

Scaling up is easy when the grid already exists. - TWuG Nov 13, 09:27 3

  - Social norms are evolving. I'm sure we'll see many EV Malls get built, give people something to do with the hour charging.... - zeitgeist Nov 13, 09:58 1
    - Yep. And a lot of distributed generation could go hand in hand with that. - TWuG Nov 13, 10:06
