Not everyone has a house...

I'm living in an apartment and charging at home is not an option. I do have a EV though and when we take a larger trip, I need to plan a bit more to charge up before the trip.
That sucks a bit, else it's pretty great

I think landlords should, legally, have to allow you to put a wallbox at the space where you park your car. Maybe they should also just have to pay it themselves. It's stupid that people have to pay so much more and go through such a hassle to charge their car because, I assume, landlords dom't allow them to put a wallbox at their car's parking space.

I own the apartment and even a parking place, that's my own. but just doing the cableing will cost me a few thousand Euros.
And I'm one of the lucky ones who don't need to search through public parking slots.

Fair point, yep. But it is still very possible to road trip in most places without 600 miles of range or a home charger, and it only seems to be getting easier. I was mostly referring to those in the aforementioned "charging desert" counties in the US which are majority standalone single-family residences.

Hopefully in the future, it's a requirement for modern apartments.
