By the way, I had long used the argument that almost 70% of Americans live in single family - detached homes and so if we got 70% of Americans to drive EV's (and charge at home) we have solved 70% of the gasoline burning problem.
That is the national census number. BUT, it turns out, here in Maryland and other higher density population states, more than 50% of people live in apartments and have no access to overnight charging. So that was an eye opener for me and I had to change my tune. My tune now is CHARGING AT WORK on 120v. Just plug in every day, and pay the $30 per month for the electricity. That nicely meets the national average 40 miles a day Americans drive. Then they can use public charging for trips only. Charging is FIRST AND FOREMOST, a *PARKING* problem.
