A small share of motorists burns about a third of America’s gasoline, a study found. Switching to electric vehicles would make a huge dent in climate-warming emissions.
I’m not in the demographic of high fuel users described in the article, but I am a prime candidate for an EV. I don’t drive much, prefer urban living (live close to everything, shorter drives), and the occasional road trip is not more than 4 hours long and on city routes. The problem is charging. I live in an apartment with no chargers, and there aren’t a lot of public charges close to me in my area. If my apartment ever does install charges, I’ll have to compete with other residents. I hope they standardize chargers to be compatible with all models and have them everywhere.
