Renters exist, and many of them don’t have the option to install charging infrastructure in their homes everywhere and every time they move. Their options today are:

  • don’t buy an EV
  • only rent housing that’s compatible with their vehicle
  • plan their day around publicly accessible charging station availability

Faster charging lets people get in and out of charging stations faster, which lets more people charge, which makes EVs a more practical option for people other than single family homeowners with garages
