    yeah the biden adim really missed the point with all that money it set aside for build charging stations and not any part of it for apratments, or homes.

      The IRA does have provisions for home electrical upgrades to accommodate electrification projects. You don’t really need a fancy fast charger at home though since you can just slow charge overnight. Better for the battery that way.

      As far as apartments go, I don’t think landlords need any government handouts… Maybe there should be legislation to require X many chargers by X date for apartment complexes over X number of residents.

        Well yes. I never said the IRA did, just what would be best.

        No for home most people would need a level 2 charger or a second car. Which coast money to install, and is confusing for most people since level 2 charger is basically a foreign language to the.

        For apartments. Yes most landlords could afford to install them but with a government offering to cover part of the cost or giving tax breaks it makes them more likely to say yes
