    Certainly something that needs to be addressed by them, or manufacturers will not be able to sell them. They will be punished unless they help with solutions.

    I’ve seen several possibilities floated around here, so we have 12 years to build out one or more of them

    • landlords with off street parking can be incented or required to provide chargers, by zoning changes. Also at some point they won’t be able to find tenants unless they do
    • faster batteries will help reduce the wait time if you visit a supercharger once a week. It seems like we’re already down to half an hour to charge 5%—>80%
    • slow chargers at every destination (work, shops, restaurants) can keep you always topped off cheaply and without waiting
    • some street parking is conducive to charging, such as with pre-existing streetlight wiring

        1. That’s one reason many chargers have short cables
        2. I really like the proposal someone here has, where you need to bring your own cable.

            If the cable belongs to individuals:

            • they can be ticketed for causing a hazard to pedestrians
            • there’s no problem with an unused cable not being hung up
            • the part of the charger most likely to be damaged or vandalized is easily replaceable
            • a newly parked person can still charge, even if the previous one was vandalized
