44 million US households have no garage, including ~2/3 of renters

Sounds like a market opportunity for kerb-side, low speed, charging points.

Not to mention parking garages for daytime parking at work.

Not to mention mall parking lots.

The garage is an obvious starting point, because your car spends a lot of time there, but there are lots of opportunities elsewhere.

Once upon a time 44 million households didn't have electricity. Things change.

Hence the urgent need for charging infrastructure: Incentives to install charges in homes and rental unit garages and at curbsides.

  • Isn't it a lot easier just to sell people hybrids instead?

    • No. It's really easy to install charging points on office parking space and supermarket. You don't need to plug at home when half of the day the car is parked at places with chargers.
