    Let me summarize the stream of these comments for you, as if it was a conversation between two people.

    A)There isn’t infrastructure for electric cars, particularly for those living in an apartment.

    B)Level 1 charging is good enough for most people.

    A)How is a person who lives in an apartment going to use a level 1 charger?

    B)You just use a regular outlet.

    A)But I live in an apartment, there is no regular outlet near my car.

    B)(this is your comment BTW)Well then why did you bring up level 1 charging?

    You’re a moron.

      Some apartments have outlets in them, this is a simple solution for those people. Not every solution will solve every problem for every person. Only a moron would expect that.

        Haha. Alright, bud. All those people with the simple solution of parking in their living room will be so pleased.

          Yeah no one parks in a covered garage or in a parking structure, so it’d be impossible for those people, who live in apartments, to use this simple solution. And it would be impossible to ever get electricity to street parking. You’d have to put it on the sidewalk or something. Oh, I mean, in your living room, because I’m the moron here. Thanks for the great discussion, genius.

            I’m loving your solutions. Do you know what they call covered garages and parking structures with outlets and even your big brain idea of sidewalks with electrical outlets in them? They call those things INFRASTRUCTURE.

              You should be loving the fact that this simple solution exists instead of being a random asshole cynic about it, yeah. The infrastructure is in place already for a lot of people to use this as a solution.

                My dude, the comment at the top of this thread is stating that there isn’t enough infrastructure to support most people buying electric cars. Sure, there’s some infrastructure for some people to be able to charge their cars but its a significant barrier for many and an impediment to widespread adoption, causing a decrease in demand. You know, relevant information regarding the original post.

                “But some people can charge their cars” is irrelevant when so many can’t, because of infrastructure.

                This word has lost all meaning for me. Infrastructure infrastructure

                  Ok you win the argument. Some people who live in apartments officially CANNOT charge their cars using a regular level 1 outlet because cantsurf cannot charge his car on the street.

                  Let it be known far and wide.

                    You’re close, but you’ve still missed. My opinion (and I’m agreeing with the guy at the top of this thread) is that charging an electric car is impractical for such a large proportion of the population that it is slowing down electric vehicle adoption and that mass adoption is unlikely to occur until this infrastructure issue has been addressed.

                    And also that I can’t charge my car on the street.
