My wife buys the wrong lottery tickets, so we can’t afford a Tesla.   One person had a Tesla in our senior apartment building without a garage, and periodically went to the Tesla dealer to recharge.   That made *no* sense to me.

To me, plug-in vehicles need plugs.   That usually means a garage.    They should have sufficient power to fully charge the vehicle overnight.   For plug-in hybrids a 110 socket is normally sufficient for that as they only can go about 30 miles or so on a charge.   For a full EV, upgraded power is highly recommended.

Charging overnight is what makes EVs win.
