Electric Vehicles

The chargers are not the issue. They just need to be where the cars are parked.

If those cities don't have public transport they are going to need parking lots. It doesn't matter if the parking is free or part of the apartment complex or separate garages or whatever. That's where the chargers are going to be. The issue is only for those who expect to throw their car anywhere that doesn't have bollards preventing them from doing it.

I dislike paid parking as much as everyone else, but it has become an inevitable cost of owning a car - existing because there are too many cars. If you can't afford parking, then you can't afford a car. Car dependency is the real problem for poor people, because they also can't afford not to have a car.

Cities has a whole lot of barrieres for poor people, and the car, parking and chargers are really only the symptoms of everything that has gone wrong in unregulated urbanization. If the lack of chargers turns out to be the breaking point, then I'm all for using that as leverage to open up the debate of how poor people are supposed to even live there.
