According to Quota its ~80% of people live in houses.
Classic 80:20 rule. Making excuses for why the most difficult 20% doesn't work is the wrong way of thinking about it. Most of the result for least effort cones from dealing with the 80%.
You explicitly asked about apartments tho
The title is about why "Americans" aren't buying EV's. The excuse of them living in an apartment only applies to ~20% of the population.
That's not enough to explain why Americans aren't buying, just why 20% if Americans aren't.
And like I said you don't start with the most difficult and you don't push a solution onto a problem when it isn't the right solution anyway.
Great, and I’m sure the same applies to public chargers, for those making the excuse that there aren’t any near them.
Yes, we need a lot more public chargers, especially to make charging convenient, but there really are some near most of the population
